Workshop Booking - Terms and Conditions
All Deposits for workshop-based courses (including live online workshop courses) are non-returnable and non-transferable.
Booking Terms
For students that book 30 days or more before the start date of the workshop:
The balance of the workshop fee is payable directly to your teacher within 30 days of booking onto this workshop.
For students that book less than 30 days before the start date of the workshop:
When booking with less than 30 days before the start date of the workshop, the balance must be paid to your teacher no later than 7 days before the workshop starts.
For students that book 7 days or less before the start date of the workshop:
When booking 7 days or less before the start date of the workshop, the balance must be paid to your teacher no later than 48 hours before the workshop starts.
If there is a non-payment of balance, or agreement for the payment plan is not completed within the timelines stated above, this will result in forfeiture of Deposit money paid, and the student will lose their place at the workshop.
Note: You will receive an email from the teacher within 3 business days of the Deposit being paid, with Balance Payment details. Students will be reminded to please check their Junk and Spam folders if the email does not come into their main Inbox.
Cancellations
If a course is paid for in full, a refund (less the deposit and an administration fee) will be given for cancellations when requested at least 30 days before registration on the first day of the scheduled training.
If course is paid in full, a 50% refund (less the deposit and an administration fee) will be given for cancellations when requested 15 – 29 days before registration on the first day of the scheduled training.
No refunds will be given after this date or for no-shows on the days of the scheduled training.
If you cancel within 15 days of the start date of a workshop, or you do not show at a workshop without informing us, the full fee for the workshop is still due to be paid. You are required to pay any outstanding balance of the fees that are due.
Anyone who is registered but cannot attend may send a substitute. However, we need to be notified of this change before the training starts.
The Sound Healing Academy reserves the right to cancel or postpone the training due to unforeseen circumstances or if a minimum acceptable registration level is not achieved 15 days before the scheduled training.
If such an unlikely event occurs, your registration fee will be refunded in full.
However, the Sound Healing Academy is not responsible for any other program expenses (travel, accommodation etc.) you might have incurred.

Upgrades - Workshop Only Students
If you have taken the "Workshop only" option, and you wish to upgrade to the Full workshop course, then you have 4 weeks - for Level 1 courses - from the final day of the workshop to choose to upgrade from the workshop only to the full course.
For those on Level 2 courses, you have 8 weeks from the final day of the workshop to choose to upgrade from the workshop only to the full course.
This can be done with an upgrade email request via the Teacher or directly from the student to the Support. Acceptance of this upgrade request is at the discretion of SHA and not 100% guaranteed.
Payment Plans - Special Circumstances
For people with limited income and savings, a custom payment plan over a longer time frame may be agreed with a teacher. This agreement is at the discretion of the teacher and is not guaranteed, and does not apply to Workshop only students.
This payment plan will be set up before a workshop course starts and will last no longer than the duration of the course.
The standard duration of our courses is: 3 months for Level 1 and 12 months for Level 2 courses.
The student is required to set up a bank standing order for an agreed monthly amount to be paid directly to the bank account of the teacher.
There is an extra charge for each instalment under this agreement. The total cost of the special circumstances payment plan will be higher than under Options 1 and 2 above.
If a payment is skipped then the SHA reserves the right to suspend access to the online training portal for the course and not to provide any further tutor / teacher support.
SHA is an international academy with teachers in many countries. The cost of our courses may vary between teachers. Please check with your teacher or email our support team at:
