Informal examination

 

The full ESA course is 3.7 days (either Monday to Thursday, or Tuesday to Friday).

The tutor expects to arrive late evening before the course (c22.00) and leave early evening (c18.00) on the last day of the course.

 

If the customer pays for tutor flights from/to London, transport from/to the airport, and 4 nights in hotel with 3 dinners.

Then Avancier will charge no expense. Else, a fixed expense amount must be agreed (e.g. £1,000).

 

Course delivery: £1,100 per tutor day + £520 for each delegate over 4.

The customer will print the course manuals from PDF documents provided.

 

Other prices that are hopefully not applicable:

+ £500 for leaving home before midday on the day before the course.

+ £500 for returning home the day after the course.

+ any taxes that apply.

 

No risk to you (your money is safe) booking

We never cancel a course place and date you have paid for – unless you ask us to.

We refund money in full if you cancel more than five days before a course.

We offer free retraining to anybody who fails an exam.

Payment is due a week before the course, or on booking within ten days of the course start date.

After you have paid, our policies protect you from the dodgy practices of some other training providers.

If others drop out and the class size reduces to one, then we offer you three options: a) go ahead with a 1-to-1 course, b) join a future course c) full money back immediately.
