Covid-19 measures

The course venue is a large, well ventilated space with high ceiling and a garden, offering room for 'physical distancing' and plenty of opportunities to take a breath of fresh air.

If, due to government regulations, the course is cancelled, the fee you already paid will be reimbursed at 100%. In other words, we will not keep your money till a new course is planned, nor will we give you a voucher. You will get back what you paid;
Once the course is running we will assure that the students get what they registered for. Though the form in which received, might be different. This is garanteed! Even if corona/covid-19 prevents the teachers of giving all the weekends.  In this case there is of course no refund. FYI, even in 2020 we were able to succesfully complete the course.
