Modmation accepts a wide range of payment methods, including Direct Deposit, Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Please keep in mind that your registration is to be paid in full before you can attend your course.
If you cancel between 8 and 14 days prior, you will receive 50% refund of the course fee. No refund will be given on cancellations received within 7 days of the delivery date.

If a course is cancelled, you will be notified in writing and your registration will be transferred to the next available course date (or a refund made available to you for a course registration). If a suitable date cannot be found for the course, your fee will either be refunded in full or held in credit towards your next course choice depending on your preference.
