How to register and what is included in the registration fee (languages)
The first time you enrol for a course, you will be charged a one-off registration fee of HUF 5,000, which includes access to additional digital learning materials (e.g. BookR Class), which can be used for home practice, as well as all the enrolment-related tasks and, if necessary, pedagogical advice. You need to apply via our online application form, after which our team will contact each new student individually!
Returning students will be charged a reservation fee of 5,000 HUF, which will be deducted in full from the first monthly instalment of the school year. (In the event that the group does not start and no other group is chosen, the reservation fee will be refunded; in the event of withdrawal by the student, the fee will not be refunded.)
What is the difference between monthly instalments and a loyalty payment?
There is a choice of packages to reimburse course fees: paying in equal monthly instalments gives you flexibility. You can also choose to pay half-yearly, loyalty payment, which is more convenient (less administration) and offers better rates. In the latter case, our students commit to the course for one semester, so stable groups and a confident attitude create the ideal conditions for rapid progress. Course fees can be paid by bank transfer or online by credit card.
Read more: how do they work in practice? What are the conditions for cancellation?
In the case of monthly instalments: our students pay the semester fee in 5 equal instalments at the beginning of each month (September to January for the autumn semester and February to June for the spring semester). The instalments are always equal, so there is no need to count how many sessions there are in a given month, due to school holidays and public holidays: each group has exactly the same number of sessions (16 or 32) per semester, regardless of the day of the lessons. Cancellation conditions: if you do not wish to continue for any reason, you must cancel your course in writing by the end of the month in order to avoid paying the next monthly instalment (instalments already paid are not refundable, regardless of the number of lessons attended in the previous month). Further details can be found here.
Half-year loyalty period with a single payment: it is possible to pay the half-year tuition fee in one sum with a half-year loyalty commitment. In this case, the course fee is discounted and the payment is made before the start of the course (the fee per month is shown for ease of comparison). Withdrawal conditions: the first 3 sessions of the course are considered as a ‘trial period’ during which you can withdraw from the course without any restrictions and the fee for the remaining sessions will be refunded on a pro rata basis (deadline: 17.00 on the working day following the 3rd session). After that, the six-month loyalty period is considered irrevocable and no refunds are possible. Further details can be found here.
What kind of discounts are available?
Half-year loyalty discount: we offer a lower tuition fee for half-year loyalty and a single payment.
“Future-proof package”: if a student is taking language and IT courses at the same time, he/she can do so at an extra discount (detailed prices below)! The future-proof package can also be combined with the six-month loyalty (but cannot be combined with other discounts such as family or group discounts, early bird discount, etc.).
Family and group discounts: if several students from the same family are studying with us at the same time, they can benefit from a family discount, and if 4 new students join, a group discount is also available. Read more about discounts below.

Discounts
Family discount

(Where there are several courses at different prices, the higher price is considered the full price course. The discount applies if at least two siblings are studying at Funside School at the same time, regardless of the group or subject. The discount does not apply to intensive courses and non-course services such as workshops, camps, etc. It cannot be combined with any other discount and is not transferable.)

The fee for the future-proof package in the spring semester of the academic year 2023/24 is HUF 39 990/month for monthly instalments and HUF 34 950/month for half-year loyalty.
