How
to Enroll
Please complete the Enrolment Form and
send it to us with the non-refundable Enrolment Fee of $90 (plus optional Cancellation
Insurance premium of $50 and courier fee of $100, if required).
As soon as we receive your Enrolment Form, we will confirm your acceptance on the course,
enclosing an invoice detailing the payment due. Payment of the invoice must reach us at
least 30 days before your course begins.
Please note: If you are enrolling on a course
beginning within 30 days' time, you should send the Enrolment Fee, optional Cancellation
Insurance Fee and Programme Fee along with the Enrolment Form. If you enroll on a course
in the USA or Canada less than 30 days prior to the starting date, you will be charged an
additional $50. This is to cover the cost of sending you the visa application documents by
international courier service. In the unlikely event that we refuse your application, all
of these fees will be returned to you immediately.

Cancellations and Refund Policy
All cancellations should be
made to a BEE office or its representative. In
all cases the Enrolment Fee, the Courier Fee and Optional Cancellation Insurance premium
(see below) are non-refundable.
Cancellations
The Programme prices shown with each school
description in this brochure comprise two elements: the Course Fee (50%) for tuition and
the Student Services Fee (50%) which includes accommodation. The Course Fee is fully
refundable if you cancel prior to arrival at the school. Additional refunds will be made
from the Student Services Fee as follows:
-If you cancel 30 days or more before the start of the course you will receive a full
refund, except for the fee above-enrolment, cancellation, insurance, and courier fees
-If you cancel less than 30 days prior to departure, BEE reserves the right to retain 40% of the
Student Services Fee (up to a maximum of $1000) to cover the cost of prepaid
accommodation/ transportation.
Withdrawals
If you wish to cut short your
course once you have arrived at the school, you must notify the BEE Program Director at your school at least four
weeks in advance. A full refund will be made for all weeks in excess of the 4-week notice
period. The refund of any money due can only be made by the BEE office or representative where the course fees
were paid. All refunds will be processed by the BEE
office or representative within 30 days of notification.
There is a separate Refund Policy for the Academic Year Abroad and Multi-Language
Year Programs. Students applying for these will be sent an enrolment packet with full
information.
Cancellation Insurance
We offer you optional
Cancellation Insurance for a once only fee of $50. This premium should be paid at the same
time as the Enrolment Fee and is non-refundable. If you choose to take Cancellation
Insurance and are forced to cancel before departure due to illness, or illness in your
immediate family, BEE will refund all fees,
irrespective of when notice is received, with the exception of the insurance premium
itself and the Enrolment and Courier Fees. (A doctor's certificate must be provided with
each claim.)
Medical Insurance
All participants travelling
to the USA, Canada and Australia are required to have accident and health insurance. We
strongly recommend that students attending any of your other schools, including in Europe,
take similar precautions. We have negotiated favourable premiums for BEE students with an
international insurance company. The policy protects you against expenses incurred through
accident or illness, and provides coverage for loss or theft of baggage and personal
effects. It provides coverage against interruption of your BEE program due to illness. The cost of this
insurance is $55 for the first two weeks, then $16 for each additional week.
If you do not wish to take this policy, please indicate so on the Enrolment Form, at the
same time providing us with a copy in English of the alternative insurance policy you have
taken out individually.
Re-booking Fee
Each time you request a
change of course town, course dates, or type of accommodation after your initial
enrolment, BEE will charge you a re-booking
fee of $45 which is payable immediately. (This does not apply to students who are
extending their course.)
Late Arrivals and Absences
If you arrive late to a
course, or are absent during your course, no refund will be granted. Periods of absence
may not be made up with free extension of the course.
Course Levels
On arrival you will take a
written examination to determine the level at which you should begin your studies. Every BEE school will provide up to eight levels.
Please note: when a school has a beginners'
group of less than 5 students, BEE reserves the
right to reduce the number of lessons per week.
Protection for Our Customers
BEE provides complete financial
protection for customers, formalized according to EC directives, through an insurance
policy that guarantees your money back, and your repatriation in the event of the
company's failure.
Liability
BEE will not be liable in any way to the student
in the event of any service, contracted to be supplied by BEE, becoming impossible to supply by reason of
industrial dispute or other cause outside the control of BEE. BEE
will not be liable for loss, damage, or injury to persons or property howsoever caused,
save where the liability is expressly imposed beyond exclusion by statute.
Validity of Prices
Please note: the prices are
based upon currency exchange rates in effect at the time of writing (10 May 1999). They
are therefore subject to change, up to 30 days before your departure.
