How does payment work?
After submitting your application you continue to secure checkout, handled by Stripe. Afsah Institute never sees or stores your card details. Your seat is confirmed once payment clears, and a receipt is emailed to you. If you prefer to arrange payment directly, choose manual follow-up on the application and admissions will contact you.
What happens if a course is full?
You are added to the waitlist at no charge and in the order applications are received. If a seat opens, admissions will contact you before it is offered to anyone else.
Can I get a refund if I withdraw?
Yes, depending on how much notice you give. Full details, including the refund windows, are set out in our Refund Policy.
Are online classes available?
Some programs are online or hybrid. Each course card lists its modality.
Can I record or photograph classes?
No. Recording, filming, screenshotting, and photographing classes is strictly prohibited. Our faculty observe niqab and do not consent to their image or voice being captured in any form. This applies to online and in-person classes alike.
What if I miss a class?
Contact your teacher or admissions as soon as you can. Make-up policies differ by program, and private tutoring sessions can be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice.
Are scholarships available?
Contact admissions to discuss financial assistance. We consider requests case by case.
