Our teaching policies and procedures

1. ABC Skateboarding will provide suitably qualified instructors trained in the ABC Skateboarding methodology and programme.
2. ABC Skateboarding Instructors will teach a programme focusing on achieving optimum results by supporting the skater and aiding correct technique through demonstration and manipulation.
3. It is our policy to endeavour to provide a temporary replacement instructor in the event of any instructor absence.
4. We reserve the right to replace instructors, if necessary once the term has started.
5. Where the student is a minor, ABC Skateboarding Instructors can only be responsible for students during their skateboard lessons and parents and/or guardians are responsible at all other times. The skateboard lesson begins when the instructor accepts charge of the student from the parent or guardian and ends when the student is returned to the designated pick-up and drop-off point at the end of the lesson. Although instructors will endeavour to hand the student back directly to the parent or guardian the student is the full and sole responsibility of the parent or guardian when the student is returned to the designated pick-up and drop-off point at the end of the lesson. This is very important so please ensure that you or your appointed guardian are present at the designated pick-up and drop-off point at the end of the lesson. Where a student is a teenager over the age of sixteen years old the student may attend the lesson without the presence of a parent or guardian but the student remains the full and sole responsibility of the parent at all times before and after the lesson.
6. Parents must remain with in a 10minute distance of the premises whilst the student is in their lesson. This is imperative in case of the unlikely event of a medical emergency, building evacuation or other situation.
7. The Company retains a comprehensive Public Liability Insurance Policy, a copy of which is held at the company’s head office.
8. ABC Skateboarding reserves the right to cancel or amend Lessons and Courses in exceptional circumstances.

Changing, moving and cancelling lessons

We have tried to give you as much flexibility as possible within our operational constraints.

1. You can change your booking space:
   a) To help you be flexible in your schedule you can request us to change your lesson time, day or instructor and we will accommodate your request with one weeks notice upon calling us subject to your requested space being available.
2. You can use your lessons at a later date:
   a) You can suspend your lessons for a minimum of three consecutive weeks in any one Term for medical reasons.
   b) Any request to suspend lessons must be submitted in writing to ABC Skateboarding along with a medical certificate.
   c) Where Lessons are suspended, the child will be taken out of the Lessons and the untaken Lessons will be put on account for future use. You will be credited to the value of any lessons missed up to a maximum of 3 weeks- It is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to inform ABC Skateboarding of any injuries leading to suspension and giving the one weeks notice aforementioned to be able to receive the full credit available.
3. d) Please note that, owing to limited availability, it may not be possible to resume the Lessons on a particular date. Instead, the student will be placed on the Waiting List and you will be contacted when a place becomes available.
   e) Suspended lessons must be used by the end of the next term. The onus is on you to ensure that the lessons are used as we will not be able to call you to remind you to use the lessons.

The fees paid for Lessons not used by this time will be forfeited and cannot be refunded.

You will receive a refund of tuition fees paid, minus the cost of the first lesson provided if applicable.
   c) However, after this period, we cannot provide Credits or refunds if you are unable to attend any of the lessons for any reason. If you cannot attend for a number of lessons in a row for medical reasons we suggest that you make use of the suspension facility detailed above.
