Before You Pay
Before making any payment to IH Bangkok, we wish to advise you of several points:
- Payments for teacher training course can be made in US dollar or Thai baht (THB) or Pounds Sterling (GBP) – please see below for details of prices for each currency. Please note that prices are subject to change without prior notice.
- No payment should be made by any applicant until a letter of acceptance has been issued by IH Bangkok confirming the applicant’s place on a course, at which time a deposit payment of $600 is payable.
- A place on a course cannot be confirmed until a deposit has been paid.
- Once paid, deposits are non-refundable.
- Once a deposit has been paid, the candidate’s place on the course is guaranteed up until the date at which the balance payment is due 1 month before the start date. Failure to make the balance payment into our account by this date may result in forfeiture of the place. Applicants applying less than 1 month before the start of the course will have to make the full payment upon receipt of the acceptance letter.
- Should a participant withdraw from a course less than 1 month before its commencement, the course fees will be forfeited along with the deposit.
- All deposits and fees will be refunded in the event of a course being cancelled and if subsequent courses are not suitable for the candidate.
- Candidates should understand that there is a risk of failing and that in such an event, no money can be returned.
