The deposit once paid is non-refundable. Failure to complete full payment of the course fee a month before the course starts may mean the applicant forfeits their place on the course and their deposit.

For all teacher training courses run by IH Bangkok and Chiang Mai:

More than 1 month before the course start date

• Cancellations are permitted but with a loss of deposit only and any related transfer costs
• Postponements are permitted without charge on one occasion.
• Any subsequent postponement after the first will incur a 100 USD administration fee. This fee will need to be paid in advance before any rebooking confirmation is made for a later course.

Less than 1 month before the course start date

• No cancellations can be made
• Postponements may only be permitted in the case of a severe medical condition to the trainee with written evidence from a hospital medical doctor stating the trainee will not be medically fit to follow the specific course and is subject to the following two conditions:
  • 1) If a replacement can be found and the booked course remains full then the trainee may postpone following the rules above for cases in which there is more than 1 month before the start date
  • 2) If a replacement cannot be found to make the trainee’s original course full, then the trainee may postpone 1 time but must wait for a course to have a remaining spot available at best 1 week before the start date of a given course. In these circumstances the trainee needs to understand that they cannot be guaranteed a place on a specific course dates in advance. They will need to wait at least until 7 days or possibly less if bookings are unclear before the start date to receive an e-mail from IH Administration Team confirming availability on those specific course dates or not. It may turn out that we may not be able to give a full 7 days for a particular course if we are waiting for final confirmations from other candidates for a particular course. If that means there is not enough time for a trainee candidate who has previously postponed at the last minute for medical reasons as above, then it needs to be accepted as a no for that specific course and we will look for availability on the next course. In all cases, the trainee should wait for confirmation from the IH Administration Team before making any travel arrangements.
• Only 1 postponement less than 1 month before the course start is permissible.
• The above also applies to accommodation if we are arranging it for you. Please note that once you check in to the accommodation refunds are not available.

Please note that in cases that trainees have problems, these conditions have given a favourable solution to both parties in numerous cases without causing the trainee additional expenses.

For English courses the school can assist the student with an ED Visa if necessary. The letter of recommendation will be given to the student once all fees have been paid. If the student is studying for less than 3 months, we recommend that the student applies for a 60 day tourist visa, which can be extended by an additional 30 days for a total of 90 days.

Although rare, if the student is denied an ED Visa we will refund course fees (minus any administrative costs associated with applying for the ED Visa). We will also work with the student to think of other possible options to study without an ED Visa.

We offer the following rates for Study Holiday Courses (Prices are per week and in Thai Baht):

Course Type	1 week	2-6 weeks	7-12 weeks	13-24 weeks	25+ weeks
General English 15	6,000/week	5,400/week	5,100/week	4,800/week	4,500/week
General English 25 Business English 25 IELTS English 25	9,600/week	9,000/week	8,500/week	8,000/week	7,500/week

 

The discount we offer on long term courses are only valid if you sign up for that length of time at one time. If you sign up originally for 12 weeks, then for 8 weeks, you do not receive the 20 week rate.

If the student signs up for 10 weeks to 19 weeks, they will receive one week that they can take for holiday within their course.

If the student signs up for 20 or more weeks, they will receive 2 weeks that they can take for holiday within their course.

Example 1: A student signs up for 12 weeks of classes – they are able to choose one week within the twelve weeks of study if they would like to take a holiday. The course would then last 13 weeks with one week of holiday.

Example 2: A student is able to study for four weeks, take a three week holiday, and then study for four more weeks. However, they will not be able to receive the eight week discounted rate.
