Enrolment Information

CLASSES TO BE PAID FOR BEFORE COMMENCEMENT.

ACFE Classes require a student fee consistent with the

“Ministerial Directions on Fees and Charges”.

Refunds given if class is cancelled by LINK, all other cases must be requested in writing to LINK Committee of Management.

LINK Neighbourhood House is a not-for-profit organisation and late withdrawals from classes can result in the class becoming financially unviable. Course fees are calculated on basically a “break even” rate and therefore late cancellations (48 hours or less) or non-attendance results in out-of-pocket expenses for LINK. If you have registered for a class and cancel within 48 hours or simply don’t attend then it will be necessary for the full course fee to be paid.

Payment arrangements can be negotiated if required.

Direct Deposit available.
