A non-refundable deposit of £100 or £120 or the full course fees must accompany your application to secure a teaching practice place at one of our centres, made payable to 'INTESOL Worldwide Ltd'.

If paying the deposit only at the time of application, the remaining balance must be paid to the teaching practice centre directly by one of the following methods:

- Cash upon arrival (no cheques)

Should you need to cancel your teaching practice any course fees paid will be refunded minus the £100 or £120 non-refundable deposit.

All accommodation is arranged by separate agreement between you and the host family or guesthouse. If you have chosen to include accommodation with your teaching practice it is at the sole discretion of the host to make any charges they feel necessary following cancellation, change of date or change of centre, regardless of when the cancellation/change is made. All participants must understand that they may be charged for unused accommodation, particularly in busy periods or location, i.e. summer months, London. Please note: If booking accommodation in London in particular, most host families will charge the full amount should you change your date or cancel your course.

General Health and Medical
I agree to provide my own health and accident insurance and not to hold "The Company" responsible for my health, injury, or death at any time prior to, during, or after completion of the course. I further agree to make such determinations, preparations, and arrangements, including the purchase of supplemental insurance on my own, as necessary to secure my entry, extended stay, and general well-being or as may be required by the law of the country in which I will reside. If I have a medical condition that could potentially affect my attendance, training, or the training of my peers I will notify "The Company" in advance. Additionally, should I fail to do this, of any medical condition that could inhibit my training or the training of others I agree that my offer of acceptance to the course, even a current course, may be withdrawn without refund.

Visas and Work Permits
I am responsible for obtaining an appropriate Visa, where required, prior to my entrance into the relevant country. If I am required to obtain a Visa, I shall contact the appropriate Embassy or consulate for conditions of the visa and obtain an appropriate Visa prior to my entry. Additionally, I understand that obtaining a work permit is my responsibility or the responsibility of my future, potential employer and that either I or the future, potential employer will be the entity responsible for securing this on my behalf.

Course Requirements
I agree to be punctual for every class, and for any such required meetings or assigned meetings that relate to my class work and that may not occur during the designated class time. Tardiness will be grounds for dismissal from the course. I agree to 100% attendance. Absences may be made up at the discretion of the Course Director. I understand that unprofessional manner, or manner that is not in accord with the local culture or environment, will be grounds for dismissal from the course without recourse.

In the event that I do not pass the course I understand it may be possible to retake components of the course at the discretion of the Course Director, however, additional fees may apply.

Job Guidance Assistance
I understand that "The Company" is not a placement agency, but does offer job guidance assistance to all successful graduates. "The Company" will provide me with advice and direction, direct me to appropriate contact persons or organisations, and/or whenever possible schedule interviews on my behalf. I agree to present myself in a professional manner according to the culture and academic standards of teachers in the local environment to prospective employers. In the unlikely event that I experience difficulty in finding a job teaching English, "The Company" will provide further assistance and advice, such as providing in depth consultation regarding my approach to prospective employers, following up on my interviews, and helping to arrange additional job interviews whenever possible on my behalf.

I agree that "The Company" may assist me in arranging accommodation. I agree that if I accept this assistance I have no recourse against "The Company" with respect to location, quality, cost, or otherwise as it relates to the place of residence arranged by "The Company".

Additionally, I understand that I am responsible for all damages, bank fees, credit card fees, or penalties that may be associated with the unauthorised use, transfer, or disclosure of credit or bank account information (e.g. charges associated with frozen funds, disputes, reversals, refunds, legal fees, court fees, or any applicable penalties).After I have made the required deposit to secure my place on the course, I may make remaining payment(s) in any increment(s) and at any frequency that is convenient for me, providing that the entire balance is paid in full at least 28 days prior to the start date of the course. I understand that failure to pay in full at least 28 days prior to the start date of the course may result in me not being able to attend said course.

Additionally, I understand that I must be 18 years of age by the time I actually commence my course study. I will also provide "The Company" with the emergency contact information of a relative or significant other who would be able to advise "The Company" about the management of my welfare in the event of an emergency or situation where I cannot act on my own behalf. The contact information for that person shall consist of his/her telephone numbers, email addresses, and the postal mailing address where he/she may be reached. Additionally, I will not at any time hold "The Company" liable for the exchange of personal information between an authorised company representative and my designated emergency contact should such exchange be necessitated to promote my well-being.
