Upon enrolment you are considered booked in for the full duration of the course.

arrangement is made.

threading lessons are optional and can be arranged at an additional cost.
6. Debit order forms will need to be filled in the case of the Sewing Club
7. Sewing Club enrolments are subject to Sewing Club Terms and Conditions.

3. CURRICULUM, PROJECT COMPLETION & TIME ALLOCATION

Sew and Grow courses are structured to accommodate the completion of all specified projects within the
allocated class time, which is based on average learning pace and equal access to instruction and
resources. Where a learner completes all required projects earlier than scheduled, due to faster
progression or additional individual attention, any remaining class time will be forfeited.
Unused classes or hours are not transferable to another student and may not be carried over to another
course. If a learner does not complete all required projects within the duration of the course, additional
classes may be arranged at an extra cost to enable the learner to meet the course outcomes.

4. USE OF PERSONAL SEWING MACHINES

Learners are encouraged to train on Sew and Grow machines during classes to ensure a consistent
learning pace. Learners who choose to use their own sewing machine will be required to book and pay for
a separate operational/orientation session for that machine, as individual machine setup may slow down
the standard class pace. Use of personal machines during class is permitted only after completion of the
operational session and subject to instructor approval.

5. ATTENDANCE AND MISSED LESSONS

Learners are required to attend all classes as scheduled for their enrolled course and booked lesson
times. If a lesson is missed, the learner may attend an alternative available class or follow-up session for
the same course or level, by prior arrangement only and subject to availability. Sew and Grow does not
guarantee that missed lessons can be made up.
Lessons missed on Saturdays may not be made up on subsequent Saturdays. Regular attendance is
essential, and repeated absences may affect progression or completion within the standard course time
frame. Sew and Grow reserves the right to manage class placements in line with timetable capacity and
operational requirements.

6. BOOKING YOUR CLASSES ONLINE

Once you are enrolled, a link will be sent to you to book your class. Please note that all bookings must be
done online at least 24 hours before the class. Should you need to cancel your class, it also needs to be
done 24 hours before the class in order to get a catch up class.

7. REFUNDS

Please note: This expiry applies to courses only. All course classes expire six months after the date of
payment. This clause does not apply to Sewing Club memberships.

claims, loss and/or damages arising out of or resulting from personal injury, loss of personal items or any

additional assistance or accommodation.
Parents/guardians or adult learners are required to disclose any special needs, learning difficulties,
medical conditions, or support requirements at the time of enrolment so that appropriate arrangements
can be considered.
While every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate such learners, Sew and Grow cannot
guarantee that learners requiring additional support will complete the course within the standard
timeframe allocated to other students. In certain cases, additional lessons or extended training time may
be necessary for the learner to achieve the required course outcomes.

shall remain the financial responsibility of the parent/guardian or enrolling party.

accommodate such requests where possible.

specific teacher as a condition of enrolment, continued participation, or progress within any course or
programme.
If a student has a concern, difficulty, or issue relating to a teacher, they are required to raise the matter
directly with Sew & Grow management, and not with the teacher concerned.
Students are welcome to call, message, or email Sew & Grow using the official contact details provided
on this enrolment form so that the matter may be addressed appropriately.

is not permitted and must be managed through Sew & Grow administration.
