(We are unable to offer any refund should the platform be accessed) All cancellations are to be made in writing only and will not be accepted via phone. In the interest of clarity and for the avoidance of doubt, you should note that emails or telephone cancellations are not accepted. You must send the signed, written request of cancellation by recorded delivery. 

Refunds are not available for international students (living outside of the UK and Ireland).
