A. Yes the fee for all memberships are calculated over a training year of 42 weeks. So it doesn't include the 6 weeks during the Summer and the 2 weeks at Easter or Christmas. Direct Debits will be charged 1st month every month throughout the year.
Q. Why have I had additional charges added to my account of a smaller fee?
A. This is a Pro Rata payment. This fee is generated from the date you started the payment up until the next payment date. The system we use has 2 payment dates. 1st and 15th of each month. Meaning, if you signed up on the 3rd of the month you will have a pro rata payment up until the 15th and then the monthly fee will commence from the 15th and then process on the 15th of each month.
