You can choose whether to use the deposit for a new application or to give it to a friend, no later than the current year.

If the cancellation is due to Covid-19, the school will provide you with a voucher equal to the amount already paid, to spend for a different kind of course (for example online courses) or in a different period within the current or following year.
