Additional costs | ||||
Additional group leader costs will be pro-rated across the number of students in the group. Free leader places are determined by the group sizes in the above rates. | ||||
Damage deposits | ||||
In the event of damage to property, students must pay the full cost. Students booking residential accommodation will be required to pay a deposit of £50 / €60 or equivalent value in other currency towards any replacement keys or damages sustained. The deposit will be returned on departure after satisfactory accommodation checks have been carried out and all keys/fobs/cards have been returned. | ||||

Students who withdraw from the course once it has commenced will still be charged the full price of the programme. Part refunds of unused complete weeks may be paid at Bayswater Education's discretion, depending on the reason for withdrawal. | ||||
Refunds | ||||
Any refunds due will be paid to the person or organisation who originally paid the fees and will be made within 45 calendar days of written confirmation. | ||||
Resolution of Dispute | ||||
In the event of a dispute between a student/group leader/agent and Bayswater Education, procedures are in place to facilitate the resolution of the dispute. Complaints should first be made to the Centre Manager . Each complaint will be fully investigated provided that it is received within 30 days of the course ending and all fees have been paid. If the matter is not resolved or the complaint is about the Centre Manager, the student should complain in writing to Bayswater Education. All centres are accredited by the British Council and are members of English UK. These organisations will handle unresolved complaints about our service. Please ask our Head Office for addresses and telephone numbers. | ||||
