Booking Your training course dates/ Payment of course fees

  4. Payment of course fee conversion from USD to either GBP or THB will be fixed and notified to you at the time of course payment. We do entertain re-negotiation of the FOREX exchange rate for course fees once they have been paid.

    2. Any remaining course fees owed to us in USD that need to be paid to us in Thailand as Thai Baht, are to be calculated by converting the USD into Thai Baht using www.xe.com at the time of transfer. This gives the current daily mid-band exchange rate used by central banks and allows transparency in any exchange rate dealings with you our client.
    3. Do remember though, that all banks, exchange booths, travel agent services worldwide will charge you a commission for changing one cash currency into another, of typically 3-10% of the amount being converted. This is so they can make a profit from the currency exchange business. Exchange rate fees & commissions are entirely your responsibility in this instance. Your cheapest option is always to pay your full course fees to us by bank transfer – either in USD from outside Thailand or as a Thai Baht from within Thailand.
