Enrollment conditions at CLE

Deposit

First of all, send us your registration form. As soon as we receive it, we will inform you if we can accept you. In order to validate your registration, you will have to pay a deposit of 300 € by credit card or bank transfer. To pay by credit card, we will send you a link. The balance (what remains to be paid) is due at the latest on the first day of the course.

Methods of payment

  • By Visa or Mastercard
  • By bank transfer : in that case, please contact us.

Bank charges are to be paid by the student.

Cancellation and refunds

If you have to cancel your stay, please send us an email. If you have to cancel a private lesson (face-to-face at the school or online), you must inform us at least 24h in advance, otherwise the lesson will not be replaced or refunded.

Cancellation fees vary according to the items below:

  • Cancellation received more than six weeks before the start of the course: we will refund €150 (bank charges included).
  • Cancellation less than six weeks before the start of the course: no deposit is refunded.

Any course (face-to-face at the school or online) started is entirely due and cannot be reduced or refunded due to late arrival, early departure or any other reason.

Public holidays are officially non-working days and do not give rise to a make-up or refund. The school will be closed and the courses scheduled for that days will not be replaced.

We advise you to take out cancellation insurance if you think you might have to cancel.

Anyone whose current attitude would be incompatible with the school’s ethics may be dismissed without any refund.

Covid Cancellation

COVID cancellation rules apply when:

  • you are not authorized to travel due to official restrictions in your home country,
  • you are not authorized to travel due to entry restrictions in France,
  • you have official medical proof of a positive COVID-19 test,
  • a new lock-down is ordered by the French government and affects students on site.

Prior to arrival, in the event of cancellation for COVID-related reasons, you may:

  • postpone your stay for one year (or more if your country does not allow you to travel).
  • use your deposit for private online classes.

Once at CLE: if you have to cut your trip short for COVID-related reasons, you can take online courses or receive a credit note for the courses you did not take.

Cancellation for any other reason: as described in the previous paragraph.

Late arrival

On the first Monday morning, new students must take a test to allow us to evaluate their level, they also receive information. If you arrive late, it complicates our organization and we are obliged to free a teacher to take care of you separately. Any late arrival is therefore charged 100 €.

Number of students

If there is only one student at one level (generally at a very low or very advanced level), he or she is welcomed under the same financial conditions but for half of the 20 hours of group classes, he or she then benefits from 10 hours of individual classes per week. If there are only two students in a level, the 20 hours of group lessons per week are reduced to 15.

Insurance

Participants are not insured by CLE in case of accident, illness, theft, etc. It is therefore strongly recommended to take out personal insurance.
