LEARN TO COOK: A 10-Week Pro Series

10-Week Series Course Policies

No refunds or credits for missed classes once the series begins. Enrollment reserves your spot for the full course and cannot be prorated for missed classes, dietary restrictions, allergies, or food preferences.

One make-up class is allowed per 10-week series with at least 72 hours’ notice. The make-up must be taken within 12 months of the series start date and will cover similar material, subject to availability.

You may transfer your spot for a missed class to an eligible friend or family member with at least 24 hours’ notice.

Payment plans may be available. Contact receptionist@thegourmandiseschool.com. Enrollment is not guaranteed until arrangements are confirmed.

Ages 16+. Ages 13–15 may attend with a paying adult (18+), with one adult required per minor.

Cancellation and Class Policies

CLASS CANCELLATIONS: We do not offer refunds. Cancellations made at least 48 hours before class receive an account credit for the amount paid. No credits are issued for cancellations made less than 48 hours before class, including for illness or emergencies. To cancel, email receptionist@thegourmandiseschool.com or call 310-656-8800.

You may transfer your spot to another age-appropriate participant. Credits include only the amount actually paid; discounts and promo codes are not reissued or carried forward. Purchases made using account credits, gift certificates and/or other payment methods will be credited for the total eligible amount paid. Class credits cannot be used toward gift certificates, private events, or merchandise.

BOOKING FEE: A $5 booking fee is charged per order. If you cancel your entire order within the cancellation policy, the actual booking fee paid will be returned as account credit. Discounts may reduce the booking fee. If only part of an order is cancelled, the booking fee is not credited.

LIABILITY WAIVER: Each participant must complete a liability waiver before class. A parent or guardian must sign for participants under 18.

LATE ARRIVALS: Students arriving more than 15 minutes late may not be admitted. Admission is at the discretion of the instructor and management based on safety and class flow. No refunds, credits, or extensions are provided for missed class time due to late arrival.

FOOD ALLERGIES & DIETARY NEEDS: Please notify us of food allergies in advance at receptionist@thegourmandiseschool.com or during checkout. We will accommodate substitutions when reasonably possible, but cannot guarantee menu changes. Because students work in pairs, students requiring dietary substitutions may need to enroll with a partner willing to cook with the substituted ingredients.

SUBJECT TO CHANGE: Menus may change based on ingredient availability. Instructors may also change due to illness, emergencies, scheduling conflicts, or other circumstances.
