Refunds A full refund of the course fee will only be made if a class does not start or closes due to insufficient people signing up. Once a course has started we are unable to give a refund under any circumstances. This is because course fees play an important role in the decision about the viability of a course. We will consider applications for a refund prior to a course starting provided we have at least 7 days notice and we are able to fill the place on the course. These refunds are subject to a £10 administration fee. In some circumstances we may offer a voucher to the value of the course. Helping you pay All of our courses are individually priced and most courses have 3 prices. The first is the full price, which most people will pay, the second for those claiming the state pension and the third for those on means tested benefits. If there is only one price shown then this applies to everyone, and there are no discounts. Worried about fees and charges? We know that for some people being able to take part in adult education is only possible if they receive assistance towards the costs of tuition, exam fees, travel, books, materials and childcare. We can help if you are on an accredited course. Please ring 01904 554277 to find out more. What about examination fees? All examination and registration fees are included in the course price unless otherwise stated. 4 Cou r s On so the initia me courses is built in l cost of materia to the ls started, but you fee to get you will need all othe statione r equipment suc to provide ry h Details o and any addition as books, f a and a br the materials yo l materials. ea u will ne ed included kdown of what is alread in the co y u found in the cour rse fee can be se inf guide on yortime. ormation org.uk aterials eM Can I spread the cost of my payments? Yes! For all courses over £100 you can pay in 4 instalments, an initial deposit to secure your place followed by 3 payments by direct debit. Our easy payment plans enable you to spread the cost of the course, but if 4 instalments is still too expensive then please contact us to discuss other flexible means of payment. If you are planning to pay by direct debit then we can only do this face to face or over the telephone. Changing my mind if I have signed up online or over the phone. If you sign up for the course over the telephone or on line then you have 14 days in which to change your mind and we will give you a full refund. However this does not apply if the course starts within the 14 day period or you apply after the course has started. Once the course has started you will not receive a refund. 01904 552806 www.yortime.org.uk york.learning@york.gov.uk Remember – more detailed course information about York Learning courses is available online at www.yortime.org.uk www.yortime.org.uk L4L Autumn Winter 2016.indd 4 15/06/2016 19:07
