Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”, “Terms of Service”) carefully before using the https://www.atlantic-english.com website (the “Service”) operated by Atlantic School of English and Active Leisure (“us”, “we”, or “our”).

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who wish to access or use the Service.

By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms then you do not have permission to access the Service.

Cancellations and School Closure

In the case of cancellations due to circumstances beyond a student’s control, students may ask for a course to be postponed to a later date, within 1 year of the booking date. This may be allowed only at the discretion of the Directors and Management of Atlantic School of English and Active Leisure. Students will not be allowed to transfer fees to other institutes or organizations.

In the case of enforced school closure due to a circumstance or circumstances beyond the control of the school, including any ‘force majeure’, Covid-19 or any Corona Virus, there is no refund regardless of the duration of the course. In this case, a credit note, which is valid for 2 years from the original course start date, will be issued by the school.

I understand that all fees and charges will not be refunded after my course starts. I am aware, however, that Atlantic S.E.A.L may allow me to continue my course at a later date at a negotiated & discounted price should unavoidable circumstances cause premature departure.

Insurance

Insurance is the responsibility of the course participants. All participants are offered cancellation insurance as well as medical insurance on enrollment. This is through a recognised insurance broker. While Atlantic SEAL can offer assistance to obtain insurance - all claims must be dealt directly between the client and the insurance company. Students should arrange medical insurance before departure. EU students should bring EHIC cards which should be acquired before arrival in Ireland. www.ehic.ie Travel insurance is also recommended.

Students needing a student visa also must have the required level of medical insurance as is the condition of visa issuing and Atlantic SEAL uses the services of the reputable company ‘Guard Me’ and can organize this on their behalf if required.

Arrivals & Departures

Please note that arrival is normally Sunday and departure is Saturday. Extra days may be added on at an additional fee to fit in with flight possibilites. Simply ask us for more information.

Refunds and cancelation of Long Term Programmes (25 Weeks Plus)

A Cancelation fee will apply. This is 250Euro.

For cancellations received between 14-21 days before commencement of course 60% of full amount will be refunded; for cancellations received 13 - 7 days before commencement of course 30% of full amount will be refunded. No refund for any cancellation less than 7 days before arrival or after the course has commenced. Refunds will be made by the School Owner Barbara Connelly within 4 weeks of cancelation.

In the event of a visa being refused, the school fees will be refunded no later than 30 days after we have been informed and proof shown of refusal. The cancelation charge of 250Euro will apply.

Learner Protection

Should a programme end before the length of time of study the student has paid for and is entitled to, arrangements are in place for the protection of students through membership of Marketing English in Ireland (http://www.mei.ie) and thus the student will be entitled to continue his/her programme at another member school . This includes all weeks due to the student, same hours and end of programme exams.
