Important! Fine System when absent
The board and the educational committee of the MolMed School have decided about a new system of fines when a participant fails to show up for a course. This Fine System will only be for expensive courses with limited places and given by an external, expensive teacher.
New Fine System: Regulations
If a participant does not show up for a course without notifying at least one week before the course starts that he or she cannot come, the school will fine him or her for the full price of the course as stated in the program. A substitute from the same target group will always be admitted, in which case no fine will be imposed.
This fine will not be imposed in case of circumstances beyond one’s control. In a debate about this, the opinion of the Managing Director of the MolMed School will be decisive.
Commercial participants & sponsors
Companies are invited to inquire for participation and sponsoring.
