Terms and Conditions

The following forms the contractual relationship between the School and the Student

Please carefully read all of the linked documents.

Preliminaries

The course is delivered through blended learning, which is a mixture of watching and listening to online lectures and Vimeo-hosted instructional videos, reading course note materials, working experientially with your samples and plants, interacting with your cohorts, teachers, mentors, and, most importantly, the plants growing around you. Communication has a significant role in our participatory learning; our mentors, course leaders, and school founders are open to communication and welcome messages and individual Zoom meetings, so please take advantage of this. This course has a degree of self-direction and participatory learning, so you can choose which plants to profile and how you work with them. This involves keeping notes and journals for yourself.

Basic IT and English language skills are essential prerequisites for participation in this course.

To attend our course and to use our learning platform, the following information must be completed and kept current on your profile.

Payment and Course Schedules for Your School

We reserve the right to use Stripe payments for collections of fees and to request Stripe to retain card details for automatic collection of agreed subscription payments for fees owed to the school, according to your Acceptance of the Offer of a Place. It is vital that you have funds in your account to meet these payments on the agreed dates. Failure to do this is a breach of the terms and conditions and may result in suspension from the school. It is very important for you to contact Alex by message on the Learning platform in advance if you think you're going to have difficulty making the payments on the agreed dates.
