Course Gift Vouchers
How they work – you have 3 options!
**Due to coronavirus we have removed expiry dates from both existing vouchers and new voucher purchases to give you complete flexibility**
Open ended vouchers these vouchers display a specific monetary value and may be redeemed against any of our range of fantastic courses. You can purchase a voucher for any value, and the recipient may top up to attend any course that is greater than the voucher value. You can also buy this voucher for the value of a private tuition session.
Specific date vouchers can be purchased for a particular course on a specific day, and are best if you know the availability of who you’re buying for. You can also book a private tuition session with this voucher.
Alternatively you can buy a voucher which displays the class name only so the recipient can choose their date later. This option is ideal if you don’t want a value displayed on your voucher. (We are flexible to changes so the recipient can change the course type if they wish to a course of the same value, or pay the difference for courses of a greater value.)
How to buy your voucher
If you wish to purchase a voucher you can call our shop on 01245 283986 or if we are out just send us an email with the class or voucher value you require and we can email you payment details. We can have your voucher emailed to you or popped in the post with a leaflet to present to the lucky recipient. **Last Christmas posting dates would be 21st December but don’t worry if it’s cutting it fine just email us to request a copy of your voucher to print at home**
