How do I pay for my course?
If part of your course is done online, some of your payment is made at the registration. The remaining payment is due on the day of your practical assessment course. If you wish, payment can be made prior to you attending your practical assessment.
We accept cash, EFT, visa and MasterCard.
What is your refund policy?
Unfortunately, any initial payment made to an online course is non-refundable. Although, if your reason for wanting a refund is because you decide you would rather have a face-to-face theory assessment instead of online, your payment is still valid. Although this can only be done if there is room left for you on your desired course date.
