Booking & Fees

• Full payment is required to book a place on any course. Unfortunately we cannot hold a place if a course fee has not been paid.
• Weekly classes run on term cycles. The full cycle must be paid at the beginning of the cycle on or before the first class of the cycle. Student leaving the class in the middle of a cycle would not be entitled to a refund.
• In some circumstances, students may join a class in the middle of a cycle if places are available. Fees for that cycle would be adjusted accordingly.
• Students continuing on to a subsequent cycle must notify us of their intent to continue at least 1 week before the new cycle begins. In the case that a student has not expressed his or her intention to continue we will make every effort to accommodate the student but cannot guarantee a place.
•  Full payment is due before the first class of the cycle. If payment is not made by the date of the first class of the cycle your place cannot be held.

Refunds

We use payments as a way to gauge genuine interest plan accordingly. We also use your payment to hold you place in a course. It is therefore not possible to offer a refund.

Non-attendance does not qualify a student for a refund, credit or transfer against fees paid. However in exceptional circumstances, if places are available in a comparable class in the same week as the missed class a student may be able to attend the alternative class. These make up classes are not guaranteed. Refunds are not possible for camps

Taking a Break

If a student wishes to take a cycle off and continue on a later cycle, every effort will be made to accommodate the student. However, we cannot be certain a place will be found. If you wish to take a break for one or more 4 week terms, please let us know as early as possible. Assuming a place is available, you are welcome to rejoin the class. Although we cannot hold your place, we can offer priority re-admission if no place is available.

No discounts or refunds can be given for individual classes missed.

Cancellations

Inventors Club reserves the right to cancel any classes.  In the unlikely event of such an occurrence, Inventors Club will notify you as soon as possible and you will be eligible for a full refund of monies paid.

• Parents/guardians will be provided with the contact details so that you can be reached in the case of an emergency.
