Yes, all paid fees, with the exception of the registration fee, will be refunded when the cancellation is made two weeks or more before the course begins.

Cancellations made on the first day of the course or after are not entitled to any refund.

Whether the costs of your language course are deductible or not is decided by the tax office. Normally only the cost of the course itself can be claimed. We are happy to provide you with an appropriate certificate for the tax office regarding your language course.
