Refunds

We require notice one week (seven days) before a class starts to process a refund minus $15 admin fee.

This is due to our not-for-profit status, as we rely on minimum participant numbers to cover our costs.

Cancellations received less than one week before the commencement of a class, or after classes have commenced will forfeit any monies paid.

Under exceptional circumstances (such as illness with the provision of a medical certificate) missed classes or late cancellations/withdrawals may be refunded or credited/transferred subject to manager approval.

If the same course is being run concurrently by the same facilitator at a different time and there is space available in the class, a 'make-up' class may be permitted at the discretion of the facilitator and manager.

Class Cancellations

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by class cancellations. While we try our best to minimize cancellations, a range of factors can lead to class cancellations, including trainer illness, COVID-19 restrictions and not meeting our minimum numbers for the class to run. If a class is cancelled or delayed, a refund or transfer/credit will be made available.
