Free trial

In spring 2024, all our clubs offer a free trial. Register to the free trial with a separate form. Free trial is the first meeting of the club. Participation in the free trial does not guarantee a place in the club.

Payment and cancellation

The club fee is paid during the registration process. By paying the club fee you accept the terms of cancellation. The fee can be paid either with a credit card, via mobile payment (MobilePay, Siirto) or through an online banking service from a Finnish bank. The payment is handled by the Verifone Finland Oy BlueCommerce service.

If you want to try out a club for one meeting before registration, please contact us at linkki-kerhot@cs.helsinki.fi. Please note that the language of instruction in the clubs is Finnish, and it will be difficult to participate if the participant does not speak and understand Finnish.

In case of a cancelled meeting

In the case that we have to cancel a club meeting, for example if the instructors is sick or there is a public transportation strike, we will inform the guardian on the registration form. We will try to offer a compensation, like self learning materials or a compensating meeting.

Welcome to our clubs!
