I asked about lessons for this term and started the next day as places were available on course. Unfortunately after two lessons due to family illness and my being needed as a caregiver I was unable to continue with the course. Having paid up front for ten lessons I asked if I might receive a partial refund and this was refused despite my compassionate reasons for cancellation. I didnt expect a refund for the whole 125 of the cancellation just a token as Im a pensioner so it was quite a luxury for me to spend that sort of money on myself. So very expensive for two lessons. I would have understood the refusal if I had taken a place someone else wanted but this wasnt the case. There were still vacancies when i started. With regards to the course I was told before I started that it was suitable for a complete beginner. This wasnt the case and everyone else had a lot more experience and I was thrown in at the deep end with no tuition suitable for my lack of experience, although the tutor was very nice I didnt feel that this course is suitable for beginners and we just followed what she put down in sections, a bit like painting by numbers to me with no information about the fundamentals of using acrylic paints. But to be fair that might have been taught as the lessons progressed and the tutor was very willing to help if asked. But as everyone else was following easily the class moved on very quickly and I couldnt keep up with the speed of painting and didnt want to keep interrupting the flow for the rest of the students. Not a good experience for me Im afraid.
