Students are expected to attend classes every day and to be punctual. Margate Language Centre retains the right to dismiss any student for reasons of serious misconduct, as considered by the school, without refund of fees.

Courses for which the school has issued a ‘formal letter of invitation’ cannot be postponed or brought forward under any circumstances.

We cannot refund fees to students who start the course late, miss classes or leave early for any reason.

If the student, after having their level evaluated by the school, is found to be below the minimum start level for the course, the school reserves the right to place the student in a class with fewer lessons and a different syllabus, with no right of financial compensation, to better suit the needs of the student until an appropriate level is reached.

There is no refund for lessons lost due to public holidays.

All students must book holidays at least one week in advance and for a full week starting on a Monday. Students who wish to book holiday with less than one week’s notice may do so at the school’s discretion for an administrative fee of £3.

The school reserves the right to modify and improve its courses and course prices without prior notice. However, if we accept you on a course, the prices and conditions will be fixed.

We do not accept responsibility for any loss, damage or misadventure you may suffer in the family, the school or elsewhere, or if you miss classes due to circumstances beyond our control.

Students are strongly advised to take out appropriate travel and medical insurance before travelling to England. The school acts solely as the agent (not the principal) in providing homestay accommodation for students.

Enrolments are accepted on the understanding that the student has no illness or infirmity which might adversely affect the success of the stay, and that any transmissible disease suffered by the student must be declared at the time of booking.

Changes in course type after arrival, at the request of the student, may be subject to an administration charge.

The school is insured with Public Liability Insurance. Students are advised that the school, its employees and its representatives accept no responsibility for personal injury and/or loss of/damage to personal property on school premises. This condition also applies to public and private places when students are on school activities and/or excursions.

The school reserves the right to amend or alter its terms and conditions without providing further notice. In such cases, any newer version automatically replaces the previous version and becomes valid for all courses and students from the date of its implementation.
