Refund Policy

As soon as you are accepted on the course you should pay your course fees. We cannot reserve a place on the course until the full payment has been received.

In all cases, it is not possible to refund the course fees once the course has begun. However, in cases of medical or compassionate emergency, candidates may make a request to defer the completion of the course (in writing and with supporting certification from a doctor). In this case, the centre will endeavour to make it possible for the candidate to complete the CELTA course in a subsequent course, if and when a place is available.

Candidates who decide to withdraw from the course after it has begun will not be eligible for a refund and should inform the Director of Teacher Professsional Development Courses in writing.
