All paid lessons are to be taken not later than 3 months from start date. Lessons not taken after 3 months from start date will be forfeited. Please be on time for your lesson/s. If you are late, you will not be able to get this time back. You may postpone a lesson by sending an email at least 24 hours before the scheduled lesson time to the school (info@aclassenglish.com or by calling the school.)Failure to give notice in time will result in the paid lesson being counted as taken.

If  there is no notice that the lesson is going to be missed, AClass Academy of English would have lost the chance of placing another booked lesson to replace the one missed by the student . In the unlikely eventuality that the teacher postpones a lesson, he or she will do their best to inform you via email beforehand and you can rebook the lesson at a future date. Please make sure you have all of the equipment you will need to have your lesson/s. The school and teacher cannot be held responsible if you do not have the correct equipment or if your internet connection is not stable or fast enough although we will make allowances for the first lesson.

After this, should the equipment or internet connection on your part still not be working correctly, the lessons will be counted as taken.

AClass Academy of English has tried to solve any possible issues that might arise with regards to  equipment and internet connections. This is to ensure that lessons always take place. However, if a lesson has to be postponed, every effort will be made to inform you in advance so that the lesson can be re-booked at your earliest convenience. If an emergency arises, and we are unable to notify you in advance of your lesson, then the lesson will not be counted as taken and you will be given the option of rescheduling. 

Other Booking Conditions that you should know about:

Students will be tested extensively on the first three days of the course to place the student in the correct examination class for them. They will be given separate reading, writing, listening and speaking tests. This is to identify strengths and weaknesses of the students and to help give them an indication of their level before the course. The students will also be tested mid-course and at the end of their course to assess their progress. If there are not enough students for an exam course, the student will follow a General English Course in the mornings with Special Exam Focus in the afternoons but on reduced hours.

Please communicate any of your needs to us at the start of the course to ensure issues are resolved as soon as possible.

Changing level or teacher

If students have any problems with their teacher or course they are first required to discuss this with their teacher.
