Cancellation Policy:
We recognise that things change, but please note that sometimes these courses are over subscribed and we need to turn people away. We run these courses at cost price and need to fill the places to keep the costs down for everyone. Also we need to maintain strict standards of instructor and safety boat to student ratios and it is difficult to change these things at short notice. For these reasons, we ask that you give us a month's notice before cancelling.
If you cancel with less than a month's notice, we reserve the right to retain 50% of the fee paid, which will be refunded in the event that we fill the place.
If you cancel with less than 2 weeks notice, we reserve the right to retain the full fee paid.
If for any reason your child cannot attend on any particular day please contact training@tcyc.org.uk so that we know not to wait for them.
