To enrol into a Pilates Training Program with VIVA Education you are required to complete the following form, select a payment plan appropriate for your chosen course.

VIVA Pilates offers numerous ways to assist students financing their chosen Pilates course. Students have the option to pay course fees in larger monthly instalments over a shorter period of time, or at smaller instalments over an extended period of time.

Refund Policy:

VIVA Education gives all students a 7 day cooling off period, from receipt of their submitted enrolment form. If the applicant decides to take advantage of the cooling off period any course fees paid will be refunded minus a $150 withdrawal fee. After the cooling off period no refunds are allowed on course fees paid unless exceptional circumstances can be substantiated in which any refund will be considered by management on a case-by-case basis. Exceptional circumstances include debilitating illness, bereavement or tragedy with family.

VIVA advises all students to select their course carefully, as we cannot accept responsibility for changes in student’s personal circumstances or work commitments, which may occur before or after the commencement of the course.

Course Date Changes:

Changes to course dates are only available 6 weeks prior to a course start date. A flat-rate reschedule fee of $300 applies to all Matwork and Reformer courses.

There will be no reimbursements or schedule changes able to be made to courses within 6 weeks of the course start date. Full fees will apply.

If you enrol within 6 weeks of the course start please ensure you select your course dates carefully as full fees will apply.
