Arts Award Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions apply to all levels of the Arts Award programme provided by Pictura Studios. By enrolling in an Arts Award course, you agree to adhere to these terms, ensuring a productive and enjoyable experience for all participants.

1. Eligibility

• The Arts Award programme is open to young people aged 5-18, with each award level suited to specific age groups. Parents, guardians, and educators may enrol on behalf of eligible participants.

2. Programme Structure and Duration

• Each level of the Arts Award programme requires a set number of lessons and modules. The programme must be completed in the specified sequence of modules to ensure continuity and fulfilment of all requirements.

3. Payment and Fees

• All payments must be made in full at the time of booking. Fees cover access to the programme, materials, and assessment. All payments are non-refundable. Any additional costs for resubmissions, printed certificates, or optional extras will be communicated in advance.

4. Enrolment and Automatic Progression

• When purchased in full, Students are automatically enrolled in each consecutive module required to complete their chosen award level unless a parent or guardian notifies us otherwise. Requests to delay or withdraw from modules must be made at least two weeks prior to the next module. If purchasing separate modules to spread the cost, although we would do our utmost to secure a place onto subsequent courses, the responsibility is on the parent/guardian to book in good time. 

5. Commitment to Active Participation

• To meet the requirements of the Arts Award, students must actively participate in both taught sessions and independent learning hours. We cannot guarantee successful completion if a student does not engage fully in the programme activities.

6. Assessment and Certification

• Upon completion of all programme requirements, student work will be assessed by a certified Arts Award adviser. Moderation and certification timelines vary by level, with moderation taking up to 12 weeks for higher awards. Digital Certification fees are included in the programme cost, but additional fees may apply for printed certificates and resubmissions if needed.

7. Behaviour and Conduct

• We expect all students to maintain respectful and cooperative behaviour. Disruptive behaviour may result in suspension or removal from the programme without refund.

8. Privacy and Data Protection

• Personal information collected during the enrolment and assessment process is handled in line with our privacy policy and in accordance with data protection laws.

9. Changes and Cancellations

• Pictura Studios reserves the right to make changes to programme schedules, module content, or instructors if necessary. In the unlikely event of a cancellation by Pictura Studios, affected participants will be offered alternative dates or credited for future programmes.
