Important price and package conditions
The paid trial lesson is credited once in full against a subsequent manual or automatic package. The trial and package must be booked for the same learner. MAHES sinds 1981 verifies the earlier payment and applies the credit to the package invoice. It cannot be exchanged for cash or applied after a package order has already been completed.
Tests, theory and other services are included only when explicitly listed. Intensive-course times are targets, dependent on availability, readiness and exam capacity. Exam Secure provides financial protection under its terms, not a guarantee of passing.
