Payment schedule
GYA King's Cross course fees are invoiced on a termly basis. When a student joins half way through a term course, fees are adjusted appropriately.
Please see our term dates for information.
Five-Week Trial Period
All new students benefit from a five-week trial period (payable) before committing to the annual membership agreement.
After the five-week trial period:
- If you decide to continue: The remaining term fees will become invoiced
- If you choose to withdraw: No further fees will be charged
The five-week deposit/trial payment is non-refundable and non-transferable.
Notice Period
After the five-week trial period, students are enrolled on an annual membership basis, committing to the full academic year.
Guildhall Young Artists King's Cross requires half a term's notice in writing to withdraw from studies.
Please note, where the required half-term's notice has not been given in writing, the relevant half-term's fees will remain payable. This is required to fulfil obligations to the professional tutors, pay for facilities and to encourage you to be fully committed to the courses chosen.
We regret it is not possible to give refunds in the event of absence as the Centre has to continue paying professional tutors and overheads. GYA King’s Cross expects as close to 100% attendance as possible, to ensure you develop and get the most out of your membership.
