A £950 deposit is required to secure your booking. This deposit is non-refundable because of aircraft and instructor scheduling costs. The balance is due before your course starts.
If you book and pay for the course in full, the price you pay at the time of booking will be honoured, even if the course price subsequently increases. You will not be required to pay any additional amount.
If you pay only a deposit, the remaining balance will be charged at the current course price at the time of payment, so you may be required to pay any applicable price increase.
If you cannot complete the course, fees are not refunded. If you fail to attend an agreed appointment, or arrive unfit to fly, rescheduling may incur a charge where the cause is avoidable.
