Questions worth asking before you enroll

Most of these are easy questions that get harder the longer you leave them. Asking before you pay is normal. Asking in week five feels like a complaint.

The quick answer

• Check the class page first. Price, ages, the schedule, what it covers and what's needed are usually there.
• Ask the rest before you register. The business's page has its contact details.
• A provider who is put out by these questions has told you something useful.

About the class

1. How many children, and how many adults?
2. What happens if we miss a week: is there a catch-up, or is it just missed?
3. Is there a performance, competition or exam later on, and is it optional?
4. What does my child need to bring, and what does that cost?

About the money

1. Is it per term, per month or per session, and when is it due?
2. What happens if we stop halfway?
3. Are there costs beyond the fee, such as a uniform, competition entry or an end-of-year show?

About the people

1. Who actually teaches it week to week? The person you meet first isn't always the person you get.
2. What checks have the adults had?

What the class page already tells you

On Befundo, a class page shows what the business filled in:

• the price, and how often it's charged
• the ages it's for
• where and when it runs
• what your child will learn, what the course includes, and what they need
• the syllabus, and how far through it the class is

Anything missing is worth asking. A provider who has thought about it will have the answer ready.

Fees, dates and what a class expects should be on the class page before you ask. When they're not, ask.
