Terms & Conditions

Terms and Conditions

All our Classes are for 18 years + currently.

Student postponements / cancellations

If you cancel your course or class booking at least 14 days in advance of the class, you will receive a full refund, minus the booking fees (€5).

If you cancel within 5 – 13 days of the course/class you will receive a 50% refund. Cancellations made less than 5 days before the class date will not be refunded. Class no-shows also cannot be refunded.

If we can sell your spot within this timeframe you will get a refund minus the booking fee.

Please note that it can take 5 to 10 working days for the refund to be processed.

Students can postpone their class to another date without incurring a charge within 7 days of the class. This can be done once.

Cancellation terms apply after or failure to attend second booking.

As a social enterprise non profit, we operate a very lean structure. We order the materials for all our classes in advance according to how many people book. It is not possible to reschedule a booking after the above cancellation windows have passed. 

 

Cancellations by benchspace

Some of our classes require a minimum number of participants to run. We will notify you 48 hours before the class if enrolment does not reach this minimum. We will attempt to reschedule all cancelled classes. If you cannot attend the rescheduled class, you will be issued a full refund. 

 

What to wear

Avoid wearing loose clothing and jewellery and don’t forget to tie back long hair. Closed toe shoes are required on all of our workshop floors. 

 

 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

PPE will be provided by benchspace for all courses that require it. It must be worn as directed.

 

Late arrival

Please note that all workshop sessions begin on time. Please arrive 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled workshop start time. Late arrival for classes that include safety training may result in you not being able to complete the safety certification.
 

Missing Classes

It’s the student’s responsibility to make sure they attend all classes. If you are unable to attend, you will not be entitled to a refund or postponement of your space.
The Tutor may be able to work with you the best they can to bring you up to speed but not to the loss of time and workflow to the rest of the course participants.

Paying in Installments 

We offer the option to pay for our courses in installments. We aim to provide a flexible payment solution that aligns with your needs while ensuring a smooth and enjoyable learning experience. For full details and terms & conditions, visit this page.
