Please read the following notes before completing your enrolment form. Fees and payment Course fees must be paid in full at enrolment unless you choose our instalment plan, which spreads the cost over three monthly payments for a small administration charge of $15. Learners receiving government income support pay half the standard fee on presentation of a current benefit letter. Materials For most courses, a list of required materials is sent out two weeks before the first session. Textbooks for language courses can be purchased at a reduced price from the Institute shop. Cancellations and refunds If we cancel a course because of low enrolment, you will receive your money back in full within ten working days. If you withdraw after a course has started, fees are not refundable, although in cases of serious illness we may offer credit towards a future course. Access All teaching rooms at our Denham Road site are on the ground floor, and a hearing loop is fitted in Rooms 2 and 5. Please tell us about any support requirements when you enrol.
