IN THE EVENT OF A STUDENT FAILING TO ATTEND THE CONFIRMED COURSE OR COMPLETE THE COURSE FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT THE COURSE IS CANCELLED BY THE SCHOOL, (FOR EXAMPLE: PERSONAL PROBLEMS, ILLNESS, CHANGE OF MIND, RELOCATION, PREGNANCY, ILLNESS OR DEATH IN THE FAMILY, CHANGE IN PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES, FAILURE TO OBTAIN A VISA OR A LOAN ETC.) NO REFUNDS OF FEES OR DEPOSITS WILL BE MADE AND NO ENTITLEMENT TO A LATER-DATE COURSE WILL BE GAINED.

2. Deposits are non-refundable but will be credited against the course fee.  

It is the students responsibility to assess their own financial situation before booking a course. This is not the responsibility of Decorum and will not be taken into account if any monies are owed to Decorum for equipment and training. 

Payment

All outstanding debts to us must be made before we will issue you with a diploma or certificate.
We reserve the right to refuse enrolment on any of the courses we offer.

If you are using a credit agreement and paying for the course by instalments, you agree to pay the instalments promptly and on the dates specified in the credit agreement, irrespective of the speed at which you are studying. If you are issued with a new card, please notify us as soon as possible so that we can update our records.
If you are paying by instalments and your card is declined or you miss a payment for any other reason, we will notify you by email and then letter, and your course account will be locked.

Cancellation of course

Course cancellations must be sent to us within 7 days of signing up for the course

To cancel your course you must send a signed, written notice via recorded delivery to the our registered address (cancellations by telephone will not be accepted). You must also return your course and all related course materials in their original packaging to us at your own cost and risk, and in re-saleable condition. We strongly encourage you to send the course materials by recorded delivery so that you can track the return.

Upon receipt of cancellation notice and returned course materials at our registered address – and provided the course materials are, at our sole discretion, in re-saleable condition – we will process the refund due to you within thirty days of our receipt of your written notice of cancellation.

4. Upon notification of the commencement date no variation in the course date will be permitted without full payment of any outstanding balance and at least one month’s written notice being received by the Administrator, who reserves the right to change and confirm another date – subject to availability. The applicant can make only one change of date.

HOURS, ATTENDANCE & ACHIEVEMENT

10. STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND ON THE FIRST DAY OF THEIR COURSE OR MODULE AT THE TIME STATED ON THEIR CONFIRMATION LETTER.

Failure to meet this requirement will result in your expulsion from the school. You must also have 100% attendance. For examination-based courses, you must have at least 80% attendance in the first 12 weeks of your course. Failure to meet this requirement will result in your expulsion from the school. In addition, if you miss more than 100 hours in total on either a Guild Accredited or NVQ course, you will not be registered for examination.

12. Classes will commence promptly at the published times irrespective of whether all students are present. Classes will not be delayed to wait for latecomers, and teachers are not responsible for repeating work missed. Latecomers may be requested to wait until a suitable break in teaching before entering a class. Class hours can be varied at the discretion of the School’s Director without prior notice.

13. The School will be closed on all UK public holidays. If a public holiday falls during your course, no extra days will be added to your course nor reduction in fees given.
