Courses - 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 a course of one terms duration
The second meeting of a course of two terms duration
The third meeting of a course of three terms duration

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.
