As a non profit-making charity the College operates on a very small budget.   To support the charity students are required to accept and 
comply with the regulations.   Reference to students in these regulations includes the parents or guardians of students under 18 years of age.

Fees for the first term or course of lessons must be paid before the commencement of each term or course of lessons.  Fees for subsequent terms 
or courses of lessons are due on the Saturday before the commencement of each term or course of lessons.   In the event of non-compliance the College reserves the 
right to impose a surcharge. 

The College operates for three terms per year and these terms are of varying length.   The College remains open on Public and Bank holidays. 

By enrolling, a student reserves a place with a tutor for an entire term or course of lessons and the Tutor's booked time must be paid for.  
Payment must be made for all lessons whether taken or missed by the student regardless of notice of absence being given.


A lesson may be cancelled by the College at any time but, in such circumstances, the College shall arrange to carry the lesson forward 
to a later date or to credit the student's account with the appropriate fee.
Please note that due to the nature of  individual tuition lessons may not always begin on time.   If this is the case tutors will make up the time 
either at the end of a lesson or on another occasion.


One month's notice to discontinue lessons and/or withdraw from the College must be given in writing to take effect at the end of a term.   
Failure to give such notice will render the student liable for the following terms fees.   If a student withdraws during a term or course of lessons 
fees cannot be refunded.  (Written notice of withdrawal cannot be served during periods of College closure as the student's place for the ensuing 
term is reserved in advance with the Tutor prior to closure.


The College reserves the right to discontinue the enrolment of any student who misses three consecutive lessons, who has a pattern of absences 
or who is often late for lessons.  In consultation with the Tutor the College may also discontinue lessons if progress is deemed to be unsatisfactory.

A copy of the constitution of the College and a list of the members of the Committee of Management is available from the College office.
