Minimum Numbers

If you fail to attend or miss your scheduled booking, you will not be eligible for a refund.
In the event this class is cancelled by The Metal Space for unforeseen reasons, the class fee will be refunded in full to the students.

Make up classes
If a class is missed for any reason, a make-up session cannot be offered. As a small school with a limited number of classes, we are unable to accommodate or cover the cost of a tutor for make-up sessions.
Please check your schedule and ensure your availability before enrolling.
Student Responsibility
At all times it is the student’s responsibility to check the class starting date, time and venue location.
