Monthly or yearly payment amounts, are based on a weekly course of 40 lessons for one year. In case you start a course later within the year, you can divide the yearly fee by 40 lessons, and multiply the outcome with the amount of lessons remaining throughout the rest of the year, until the summer holidays.
We have several options available for payment:
• Pay the annual amount in one payment
• Pay the annual amount in two payments
• Pay the annual amount in four payments
• Pay monthly
When you choose monthly payments, the complete amount for the lessons, for a whole course year, will be spread out over the remaining months. Beginning from the first lesson you receive until the end of the course year including August 2021.
Keep in mind that, when you have chosen monthly payments, the monthly payments will also continue during the holiday months.

If you choose to pay in instalments, the fees for the lessons will be spread over two, four or monthly payments.
Monthly payments will be spread over 12 months. Therefore, there will also be payments during the summer holidays (July and August).
