Please read this before you register for a course!

All courses require registration

You have to register in advance for all courses on the Internet, by phone or by visiting the office at Lahden aikuiskoulutuskeskus (adult education centre), Kirkkokatu 16.
Registration starts at the end of August. You can register for the spring semester courses from the beginning of December. You find specific registration dates at the Wellamo-opisto homepage – www.wellamo-opisto.fi.

If a course is full

If a course is full, you can sign up for a backup position. We will inform you personally if a place opens up for you.

 

Prepare to give us your personal details

Please look up the course code and prepare to give us the following personal information: name, personal identification number, home county, address, phone numbers, possible e-mail address, educational background (elementary level/secondary level/higher education) and profession (working/unemployed/student/pensioner/other). Please note a different billing address if the payer is someone else than the person attending the course (in case of children, information about parent or carer is required). There will not be any separate announcement sent out when the course starts – please take note which courses you have registered for and when and where they take place.

Registration is binding!

The Wellamo-opisto courses mainly include a fee. As you register, you agree to pay the course fee. Billing may take place already before the start date of the course, when it has been confirmed that the course will take place. If you have any questions regarding your bill, please contact the office immediately after receiving the bill.

 

Registration can be cancelled at the latest a week before the course starts. If you cannot attend a course you registered for, remember to cancel your registration at the latest a week before course start! Courses that are not cancelled in time will still be charged! Cancellations can be made to the Wellamo-opisto office by phone, e-mail or at the address: www.hellewi.fi/wellamo-opisto. You cannot cancel your registration by contacting the teacher. If you cancel your participation in a course after the course has started, we will charge a fee of 10€ after the first time, or later the whole course fee.

Useful information

Course start
If a course will take place is determined a week before it is scheduled to start. If the minimum of 7 (seven) participants is not reached a week before course start, the course is cancelled and you will receive information about cancellation.

 If a course is full
Students are picked in order of registration. If a course is full, you can sign up for a backup position. We will inform you personally if a place opens up for you. The backup positions are valid during the semester in question.

Cancelling a course
If you cancel a course, the fee is not refunded.

A 50 % discount for the unemployed

The unemployed may receive a discount of the courses if they register for two or more courses. A discount of 50 % is given from the second, latter course and onwards. In Lahti unemployment has to be proven before the course starts at the office. A customer card from the Labour office is required. In other municipalities the card is shown to the course teacher during the first class.
