Class Policies and FAQ

CLASS POLICIES

 

We do NOT send reminders for classes once your transaction is completed. In the rare event the class does not take place or if we are unable to hit the minimum pax of 2 for non-WSQ or 3 for WSQ Classes, we will notify you by email/ phone and will offer you an alternative or refund.

 

Payment

For WSQ Classes, kindly ensure all necessary payments / SkillsFuture claims are made within 3 days from your order date in order for your slot to be confirmed. For non-WSQ classes, we will reserve your slot once we receive full payment.

 

Rescheduling

Please inform us as soon as possible if you are not able to attend your booked class (Phone: 8139 7787; email: hello@fashionmakerspace.com).

There will be a rescheduling admin fee of $30/change of date if we are able to slot you in an available and suitable class or time slot.
However, if there is no available and suitable class or time slot, we will arrange for a custom (1-to-1) make-up class at $50/hr.

If you are not able to attend due to illness, please email us a Medical Certificate and your make-up class will be complimentary.

 

Missing a Class

In the event that you do not attend the class without prior notice, the class will be forfeited. Should you wish to reschedule after, please email us and we will allow you to book based on the rescheduled rates. Administrative and training charges will apply.

Please contact us as soon as possible to schedule a make-up session so that you will be able to catch up with the rest of the class.

 

Cancellations / Refunds / Withdrawals

Please inform us as soon as possible if you are not able to attend your booked class. If you would like a refund or withdraw from the course, our policy is:

• 14 calendar days or more before the class start date: Full workshop fee refund
  
  
• Less than 14 calendar days before / Day of the workshop / After the workshop: Full workshop fee forfeited
  
  

In the unlikely event of unforeseen exceptional circumstances, Fashion Makerspace reserves the right to change the date of or cancel an event. If that occurs, a refund of any payment made will be offered.

Additional Classes

Please note that if you require more than the stipulated class time, there will be an additional $50/hr charge. Such classes are subjected to the trainers’ availability.

 

Timeliness

We strive to start & end all classes on time. Please arrive 5 minutes early if possible.If you are over 30 minutes late, you will need to reschedule as you will miss a significant portion of the class, and catching you up won’t be fair to the other students. We seek your understanding on this.
