Discounts
A 10 percent discount on the course fee for normally priced courses is granted to full-time students, unemployed individuals, pensioners, those on job rotation or family leave, those receiving rehabilitation support, and informal caregivers. Information entitling to the discount must be provided at the time of registration. The 10 percent discount is not granted for church-supported courses or for day visitors.
By showing your course card, you receive a small discount on some products at Tuohus, as well as half-price admission to exhibitions and the museum.
We allocate the support we receive from the Orthodox Church of Finland to those under 35 years old, who are an underrepresented group in icon painting courses, and offer them a special 40 percent discount on all icon painting courses.
If you participate in several consecutive courses, it is worth inquiring about a tailored package offer.
Discount after three courses
Once you have participated in three normally priced courses within 12 months, you will receive a 50 euro discount on the price of the next course. Each module of the Icon Line accumulates a discount equivalent to one course. Church-supported courses or courses offered at a reduced price for other reasons do not accumulate discounts.
Keep track of your participations and mention the accumulated three courses during registration. We will check the matter from the system and you will receive the discount. The benefit is valid for one year from the end date of your most recent course.
Cancellation Policy
By registering, the student agrees to comply with the following cancellation terms:
A student can cancel their registration without charge no later than two weeks before the course start date. If cancellation is made after this, a 30 percent cancellation fee will be charged from the course fee. If no cancellation is made at all, the full course fee will be charged. Cancellations should be made by email: myyntipalvelu(at)valamo.fi
If the cancellation is due to illness and occurs less than two weeks before the start of the course, the course fee may be refunded upon presentation of a medical certificate.
Unpaid course fees will be handed over to a debt collection agency.
If a course is cancelled due to reasons attributable to the institute, the course fee will be refunded or can be transferred to another course. The institute reserves the right to change the program if necessary.
