Real to Reel Studios Course Payment Policies

We welcome you as a student of Real to Reel Studios and we are confident that you will enjoy and benefit greatly from your experience with us. The policies outlined below apply to ALL Real to Reel course participants. Please read them carefully.

Deposits:
All enrolment forms must be returned with either full payment or a minimum of $150.00 to confirm student’s enrolment. ($75 of this amount is not refundable and will be retained as an administration fee). Both the deposit and the enrolment form must be received in order to guarantee your place.

Balance:
The course balance is payable on commencement of the first class unless a customized payment schedule has been arranged with Real to Reel studios prior to course commencement.

Payment plan:
Payment schedules incur an additional $40 administration fee and must be paid upon class commencement. Payment installment dates will be arranged after negotiation with Real to Reel studios and are only available to those paying by credit card. Agreed amounts will be deducted regularly from the credit card supplied. Full payment must be completed within three months of the course commencement date. If the balance remains outstanding after the agreed period, a $50.00 administrative fee will be charged for every month payment is overdue. If full payment is not received by the agreed date, legal proceedings will commence.

Refund policy:
Notice must be given at least 5 working days prior to class commencement to enable a refund of either course fees or deposit. Please note $75.00 from each deposit will be retained to cover administration costs. If you have enrolled but fail to advise of cancellation within 5 working days before class commencement, you will be liable for full cost of the course, unless a doctor’s certificate is provided. No refunds will be issued for cancellations made after course commencement. Real to Reel Studios reserves the right to cancel any class in which case fees will be refunded in full.

Transfer policy:
If a student has paid a deposit and wants to transfer from one course to another, the transfer must take place within 6 months of the original enrolment (given that at least 5 working days notice has been received). The student must notify us of their availability to attend up-coming courses.
If a student wishes to withdraw from a course during the 5 days prior to the course commencement date, the transfer of half of the deposit (i.e. $75.00) must take place within 6 months of the original course commencement. The student will also be liable for any course fee increases made during this time.
