Cancellation insurance. It protects students who need to withdraw from the program for reasons of illness, serious injury or death of either the student or an immediate family member. This insurance can be purchased for $95 which must be paid with the first instalment of your program fee in order to be valid. This ensures that all fees will be refunded, except the application fee and the cancellation insurance fee.

Personal expenses. Visa costs, pocket money, excess luggage, transportation to and from school, school lunches, language tuition, school uniforms, club fees, clothing, toiletries, excursions and other personal travelling expenses are not covered in the program fee.

Areas of choice in France. In France we offer the option of choosing your area of preference. Please go to the information on each destination on this website to check the areas on offer. This option is not guaranteed and you will be refunded the full cost of the option in the event that your placement is confirmed in a different area. Please note that a cancellation due to the fact that you are placed in a different area does not entitle you to a full refund of your program fees.

Cost of the area of choice option: $700
