Booking, Payment and Fees
How to book and pay
Booking and payment for all of our Learning for Leisure courses is via
our Eventbrite page derbyshireadulteducation.eventbrite.com*
To make it easier to find information about a course and book on
Eventbrite we have redesigned our ‘Find a course’ web pages. On these
pages you will find basic information about every course with a link to
its Eventbrite page so you can find out more and book on if you wish
to. Visit www.derbyshire.gov.uk/coursesearch and click on ‘Learning
for Leisure’ to search for a course.
Help with online booking
If you struggle with online booking and payment we are here to help. Drop in
to your local centre or give them a call. Centre contact details are on pages
4 to 7 and the back page. If you get the answer machine leave a message
with your name and contact details and someone will call you back.
Course fees explained
Many of our ‘Learning for Leisure’ courses have three different fee bands:
■ Fee A: Full fee
■ Fee B: Derbyshire Gold card holders
■ Fee C: concessions for those on certain benefits/allowances
For more details on course fees and concessions visit
www.derbyshire.gov.uk/coursefees or ask in your local centre.
Some courses may also have additional materials costs as indicated in
the course listings. See course information on our ‘Find a course’ web
pages and Eventbrite for details.
Cancellations
If you need to cancel your place on a course you have booked on to,
you can do it yourself on Eventbrite, contact the organising centre or
email adult.education@derbyshire.gov.uk.
Please note that if you cancel your place on a course which has fees,
the percentage of the fee that covers the Eventbrite costs is non-
refundable (approximately 6%).
If for any reason we have to cancel a course, the full fee is refundable. If
we have to change a centre-based course to an online course (for safety
reasons) and you wish to cancel your place, the full fee is refundable. We
reserve the right to issue refunds by cheque.
