Fees are paid termly.
A 50% non-refundable deposit must be paid to secure a place for the following term.
For new students, this 50% deposit is normally due on acceptance of a place.
For continuing students, this 50% non-refundable deposit is due 8 weeks prior to the next term's start date.
For all students the balance of the term's fees are due at least one calendar month prior to the next term's start date.
Balance payments will be automatically owed one calendar month prior to the next term's start date, unless we receive a cancellation in writing from the student at least 30 days prior to the course start date.
All fees for the coming term must be fully paid up before the student participates.

refunding of course fees
Our policy regarding refunding of fees is a standard one, as used by many educational course providers including South Gloucestershire Council Community Education Service.
A full refund will be made in the following circumstances:
A. When a course is terminated by the provider at or prior to the first meeting of the course.
B. A proportionate refund will be made when a course / activity is terminated by the provider at any other time.
C. All fees are payable even if you leave. No refund will be payable to learners withdrawing from courses/activities for reasons which are not the responsibility of the provider.
D. In cases of serious ill health Circus Maniacs may agree to defer the start date of the course, or may agree to a partial refund. The decision will be at the discretion of the Adult and Community Learning Manager where evidence is produced that the learner is unable to attend.
