Booking a Course
Refunds & Cancellations
Some of our courses have specific terms and conditions around cancellations. Please check the course page carefully before booking, as it may not be possible to obtain a refund if you cancel a place on some courses.
If you’re unable to attend a course you’ve booked for we are happy to change the name on your booking so a friend or family member can attend instead. We will charge a £5 admin fee for this.
Some courses will only be confirmed to run when a minimum number of bookings have been secured – please check the course page. In the event that your course doesn’t go ahead, you will be notified within 48 hours of the course start date and will be given a full refund. We cannot refund any pre-booked travel costs you may have incurred in preparing to travel to a course.
Course Levels
If you’d like to speak to a facilitator before enrolling on a course to ensure that it’s right for you, please contact the staff member named on the course page or enquiries@kwmc.org.uk (for courses taking place at KWMC, Leinster Avenue) or thefactory@kwmc.org.uk (for courses taking place at KWMC: The Factory).
If you think that your course is the wrong level for you, please speak to your facilitator as soon as possible. If we agree that the level of the course is too high or too low, we’ll try to transfer you to a more suitable course at any time, as long as one is available. If the course is more expensive you will need to pay the difference.
Privacy
When you register for a course, you may be asked for, and provide, personal information – such as your name, e-mail address, or address.

Access & Dietary Needs
When you register for a course we will provide information about who you can contact to let us know if you have any access or dietary needs. We do this so we can make sure we provide an enjoyable and accessible experience for everyone. You can read more on our Access page.
