Terms of Payment

On booking a course in advance, a non-refundable 25% deposit is required.
Deposit must be paid at least 4 weeks prior to the course starting date.
The total course fees and accommodation costs must be fully paid not later than 2 weeks prior to the course starting date.
Fees are payable by direct Bank Transfer or by credit card.
Students are kindly requested to fax a copy of the transfer documents to Skylark as soon as this transaction has been arranged with your bank. 
Bank charges for transfer of funds must be added to the school fees. 
A course voucher confirming registration details and a receipt for the deposit shall be mailed to all students once the enrolment form together with the deposit are received by the school. 
Students must present these documents on the first day of the course. 
In certain cases the remaining cost of the total fee can be paid on the first day of the course. 
The School is not open on weekends and public holidays. 

Cancellations

When a cancellation takes place no later than 2 weeks before the starting date, all fees will be refunded with 25% deposit and Bank Transfer fees deducted. There can be no refund if a student arrives after the first day of the course, is absent during the course or is unable to complete the course. However, in certain cases, the school may, at its discretion, offer credit for a future course.

Insurance & Health Care

Course fees do not include insurance cover. Skylark recommends that students take out a personal insurance cover. We advise students to either check that their insurance policy is valid in Malta or to take out a new policy prior to their arrival. Students suffering from any illness, disability or allergy are obliged to inform the school upon registration - providing all relevant details. Students are obliged to inform Skylark should they be suffering from any illness and need special dietary requirements. These students should provide all relevant details on registration. 
While every effort shall be made by the school to accommodate these students' needs and wishes, the School reserves the right to recommend alternative dates and arrangements should this prove necessary. Since host families are not necessarily equipped to receive students with special needs, the School recommends accommodation in hotels having the necessary facilities. 

Causing Damage

If a student causes damage of any kind, the school will ask for compensation.

Students under 18 Years of Age

Our personnel shall, as far as possible, pay particular attention to the welfare of all minors. However, participants under 18 years of age will only be accepted upon presentation of a letter signed by one parent or legal guardian confirming that Skylark shall not be held responsible for any mishap occurring off the school premises. Moreover, students under 18 years of age cannot be accommodated in shared self-catering apartments.

Entry Visa Requirements

Students must make sure that they are in possession of the required documents which allow them to enter Malta. For Visa-related queries students should consult the Maltese Foreign Affairs website www.foreign.gov.mt

We recommend that students

Have approximately €100-€150 spending money per week to cover entertainment, transport and shopping expenses.

Airport Transfers

Students must send flight details up to 2 weeks prior to arrival. Failure to do so may result in losing the transport completely.
