Full details about the ICH's masterclasses (including the costs) can be found on the Masterclasses page of the website.
Each training day starts promptly at 10am and finishes by 5pm. Lecturers are usually available from 9.30am for informal consultations and advice and you are, in any event, encouraged to arrive in good time so that lectures can begin on schedule.
There are two short breaks during the day of approximately 30 minutes each and lunch is normally taken between 1.00 - 2.15pm. However, these timings are at the discretion of the individual lecturer on each training weekend.
Cancellations will be accepted, and registration deposits refunded, up to 21 days prior to the start of the course for which you have enrolled. Alternatively, deposits can be carried forward to a future course, if you wish.
Once you have commenced training with the ICH, you will become liable for the instalment amounts, as set out above and these payments must be made on the date requested by the ICH. Any other payment arrangement will be by negotiation with the ICH.
If you decide to withdraw from a course (for whatever reason) after you have paid one or more of the instalments but before you have completed the course, you will not be entitled to a refund of the fees already paid. For example, if you were to withdraw from the Professional Course before Weekend Four (having already paid £1,020), you would not be entitled to a refund of these monies but you would not be required to pay the remaining £450. You would normally be permitted to rejoin another Professional Course at a later date but this is subject to discussion with the ICH. Our experience is that it is unusual for students to withdraw from courses once they have commenced their training. However, our refund policy is stated here for the sake of clarity.
