Tuition Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance onto all of my courses is entirely at my discretion; Levels 2 to 5 are by invitation only.
2. All levels are available via correspondence only.
3. The student agrees to read the initial correspondence sent to him on registration in its entirety.
4. The student agrees to the Terms and Conditions and understands it is his responsibility to familiarise himself with them; this includes points 1 to 9 under Accessing the Student Zone.
5. After commencement of the relevant course I reserve my right to terminate the student's tuition for any of the following reasons: tutorials are regularly submitted after the deadlines; the student regularly fails to submit tutorials; the student regularly submits work that is below standard; tuition fees are regularly paid late; the behaviour/attitude of the student is not conducive to continuing our relationship.
6. Should I terminate the studies for any of the above-mentioned reasons, this will be affected immediately.
7. No refunds will apply under any circumstances and no notice period is required from me.
8. The certification attained on completion of studies is awarded entirely at my discretion: it is possible to fail if the standard of work is regularly below what is expected or if insufficient work has been submitted during the course.
9. For levels where a final delineation is required (and which is invoiced separately for some levels), failure to attain accuracy may result in failure of the course in its entirety.
10. Only payment of the 1st instalment for that module/level secures acceptance.
11. All course fees are payable as per their stipulated deadlines: this information is clearly depicted on my web site and is sent to students on registration of the course.
12. No tutorials are assessed if fees are in arrears.
13. One month’s calendar notice is required if the student wishes to terminate his studies; any fees paid in advance will not be refunded.

21. Students may receive an audio file and an email from me should I need to include additional documents; this will be communicated via email.
