not financially viable. Where classes are cancelled due to tutor's
unavailability, extra sessions will be added at the end. No
refunds will be given. |

very exceptional circumstances to ensure the viability of the
course. An administration fee of £5.00 will be levied
in the case of a refund being agreed. |

are due upon enrolment. Students who have to be pursued for
payment of overdue fees by letter or otherwise may be further
surcharged for the additional administrative costs. |
