Refund Policy
To secure your place in a group course we require full payment at the time of booking. If for any reason you need to cancel your participation in a group course please notify us at least 14 days before the start.

Cancelled Group Courses
PhotoSkills will endeavour to ensure that all scheduled courses go ahead but reserves the right to cancel any group course for any reason whatsoever, including too few participants or logistical problems such as strikes, wars, acts of God, or any other circumstances, which may make operation of the group course inadvisable. All group course payments, which were received, will be promptly refunded. This refund will be the limit of PhotoSkills liability. PhotoSkills is not responsible for any expenses or damages incurred by group course participants as a consequence of any cancellation, such as costs expended in preparing for the course including special clothing, lost income, accommodation and travel bookings or any other course-related losses or expenses.

Once a course has started and it is necessary for you to leave because it is beyond your physical level, please note that there will be no refunds for any unused portion of the course.

Medical
