Our Cancellation Policy
If you cancel less than two weeks ahead of the start date of the course, the fee is non-refundable and non-transferable to another date or another student.
If you cancel outside of the two week course date, we will happily credit your account to attend a future course.
If you do not show up for a course, you are not eligible for a credit or refund.
Why we charge a cancellation fee
This is to cover the tutors’ reserved time to run a group course, to pay for their time spent pre-planning the class and relevant material, printing fees incurred and the loss of revenue to Winterwood as it is often too late to fill a cancelled space. More importantly, other students miss out on attending a group.
