Entry Requirements

There are no entry requirements for Students, it is however advised that the Student has a fair understanding of computers and technology.​

​

Materials

Course books are not included in the course fees. However, studying material will be provided in electronic format to the Students as the Company sees fit.

​

Number of Students per Group Courses

We require 2 students to be able to run a group course. Whilst the vast majority of courses easily meet this requirement, in some cases some unfortunately will not. We will always try our hardest to run all our courses but cannot guarantee that courses which don’t meet the minimum student number will be able to run.

If the minimum number of students is not met:

1. The Company will inform the Client and will offer to reimburse the payment unless the Client agrees to wait for a confirmed course that starts later.

2. Where one of the Students of the group course no longer participates, but the courses are already scheduled and have started, the course will continue with one Student only, unless this is no longer possible for logistic reasons. In the latter case, the remaining courses will be fully refunded or if the Client agrees a credit will be issued to be used on any of the other courses proposed by the Company.

    3. For quality reasons the maximum number of students admitted per group course is 2.

​

Public Holidays

Where a course takes place during a public holiday in Greece, no lessons will take place on that day unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Student. Courses will be rescheduled to a later date agreed by both the Company and the Student.

​

Course Fees

Course fees do not include VAT, unless otherwise stated. Course fees are paid in advance of the beginning of the courses.

​

Purchase and Payment

No contract is made between the Company and the Client and no purchase is valid until the Company has issued a confirmation invoice by post, fax or e-mail (an e-mail acknowledging receipt of an order does not constitute a confirmation invoice). The Company will issue this confirmation invoice after it has received a completed purchase form or a written agreement by the Client.

The prices of the courses are made in Euros.

The half an hour free course is free of charge. However, the Company will offer it when the teachers have availability in their calendars after consultation with the Client.

 

Booking Fees

We do not charge any booking fees.

In the unlikely event that a Client is unhappy with their purchased package course we require the Client to attend a minimum of 2 lessons in order to give a reasonable amount of time for any improvements and changes to be experienced. The Company will make every attempt to ensure the Client can continue with their course as a satisfied Client. However, if no agreement or remedy is possible, after all reasonable efforts by the Company, the Client must be aware that no refund will be possible for purchased package courses as per the Cancellation and refunds policy described above.​
