Au Pair and Teach English programs
(excludes Au Pair Netherlands and Teach English Thailand)
Your initial $95 payment will be applied to the program fee. This is non-refundable, except in the unlikely event that we are unable to offer you a placement on the program (in this case you will receive a refund). The remainder of the program fee will be due upon confirmation of your placement. If you cancel after your placement is confirmed and prior to program start date, you will receive a refund minus $95. No portion of program fees will be refunded after the program begins. When the fee amount is based on program duration (e.g. Home Tutor programs), no portion of program fees will be refunded should you end your program earlier than anticipated.
