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. | |
