Life happens, and we always try to work with you. If you need to change or cancel a lesson, please let us know as early as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you case by case.

Our standard policy is:

More than 24 hours’ notice: the lesson can be rescheduled, subject to availability. Between 6 and 24 hours: a 30% charge applies. 6 hours or less, or a no-show: the full lesson price applies.

Packages must be used within 12 months of purchase. Unused lessons can’t be claimed after the package expires.

You’ll get the remaining booked time and the full price still applies. More than 15 minutes late without contacting us may be treated as a no-show.

We pick up from home, school, university or work across north and south Canberra, including Gungahlin, Belconnen, Woden, Tuggeranong, Weston Creek, Molonglo Valley and the Inner North and South. Not sure? Check the suburbs we cover or message us your suburb.
