Your booking is made, and these terms take effect, when you complete checkout and payment is received. We confirm your place by email.

WSET courses also require a WSET enrolment form, which we send to you after booking. It must be completed and returned, with a signed and dated student declaration, by the date your course administrator gives you. Returning the form is a condition of sitting the examination, not a condition of your booking. If it is not returned by that date your booking still stands, the cancellation terms below apply in full, and you will be treated as not attending.

Bookings close 15 working days before the course start date. A booking made within 20 working days of the course start date is non-refundable and non-transferable from the moment it is made, and we will make this clear before you complete checkout. Where we accept a booking after the 15 working day cut-off, it is accepted at our discretion on the same basis. Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding Victorian public holidays.

TRANSFERRING YOUR BOOKING
You may request a transfer to another course date, or to another person, more than 20 working days before the course start date. Approved transfers incur a $75 transfer fee, plus the cost of any additional study materials required. All transfers are subject to availability and to our approval.
Transfers requested 20 working days or fewer before the course start date are not permitted. This includes any request to transfer a WSET examination date.

IF YOU ARE UNWELL

IF WE CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE
Occasionally, due to lack of demand or other unforeseen circumstances, a scheduled course may have to be cancelled or rescheduled. Affected students will be given as much notice as we can, and will be offered a place on an alternative date or a full refund, whichever they prefer. Where an alternative date is accepted, students have 12 months from the original course start date to attend, after which fees are forfeited.
