Enrolments
Enrolment for residential courses is restricted to students 16 years of age
and over. Enrolments will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis. Provisional
enrolments by telephone will only be held for up to one week, after which they
will be deemed to have lapsed. Enrolments for a course will only be binding
where we confirm in writing the receipt of a completed enrolment form and deposit.
All fees are payable in full four weeks in advance. A non-returnable deposit
of £50 is payable on submission of the enrolment form. The deposit will
be returned if for any reason the enrolment is not accepted.
Payment
Please make all payments by cheque in sterling (GBP) and made payable ‘CookAbility’.
We regret we do not accept credit cards.
Cancellations/Terminations
Fees will be returnable subject to deduction of the deposit if written notice
of cancellation is received at any time prior to four weeks before the start
of the course. If you cancel within four weeks from the course start date you
will be responsible for payment of the full fees. It is recommended that insurance
be taken out against cancellation for reasons outside the student's control.
If you terminate during a course you are not entitled to the return of any proportion
of the fees.
