We will give a 100% refund on cancellations received before the end of the first week of the course. After the first week we can discuss a refund or transfer you to a later course under special circumstances, such as ill health. It is our policy to extend the greatest possible flexibility to students under these circumstances.
No, all materials are included in the course. In some courses the online course notes are available for purchase in book form, but this is for convenience only and is by no means a necessity.
Don’t worry about technical skills – if you can handle email and find a web page, then you’re ready to go.
Yes, as many as you feel you can manage. However, if you haven’t studied before or for a long time, you may like to start with one course to get a feel for how much time is involved. And if you do feel you’ve signed on for too much we are happy to give a refund in the first week or to reschedule to a later term.
Apart from English and a desire to learn, there are no previous qualifications required.
Currently, four times a year: January, April, July, and October.
