If a student wishes to exchange his/her original choice of course for one of greater value the student must pay the difference between the two at the time of requesting the upgrade.
Any refund or other money due when a course is changed or cancelled, or a holiday taken, will be transferred to the bank account from which the payment originated at the end of the booked course.
Money due in relation to a course booked by the student will therefore be returned to the student.

If KBM BSE cancelled a course booked and paid for by the student in accordance with these terms other than for reasons beyond its control, and did not offer an alternative reasonably acceptable to the student, KBM BSE would pay compensation as follows:
Important
Where the cancellation is before the start of the course, compensation equal to the deposit paid by the student
Where the cancellation is after the start of the course, compensation equal to one week's fees.
Where the booking involves external operators for any of the activities, such as accommodation or transfers, the student becomes subject to their terms and conditions in regards to cancellations and refunds, KBM BSE will provide the student with General Terms and Conditions from other external operators in the booking phase so the student is aware of all conditions and cancellation policies.
