Unfortunately, we cannot provide refunds, except in special circumstances. In that case, your request will be forwarded to our committee. Please email info@afdunedin.org.nz if your circumstances have changed. Also, once enrolled, please contact your teacher when you are unable to attend one class.

Payments are now strictly online with a valid credit/debit card, while booking classes or registering for an event. Please note that your enrolment or registration can only be confirmed once payment has been made.

Unfortunately no. We cannot accept pets on our premises.

You may find closed-doors if you pop in, as we are a small association staffed by volunteers; we do not have full-time staff. You will have more luck if you contact us at info@afdunedin.org.nz Alternatively, join us for one of our regular catch-ups, either at P’tit Dej (French Brunch) on the first Saturday of every month from 10.30-12.30, or at Soiree Crepes on the second Thursday of each month at 6pm. Visit the Facebook page or check the website for other events and gatherings where there will certainly be someone on-site to assist you.

You can book your class directly on our website, unless you are unsure about what level you require (e.g. adult classes, A1-B2); in that case, see below:

Yes, you can, although we advise that you enroll from the beginning of a term as we do not cannot provide discounts for late or partial term enrolments. Please contact us at info@afdunedin.org.nz if enrolling part-way through a term, so that we can make sure that you are able to integrate into the class..

The term is 8 weeks. Term dates can be found on the website. Lunchtime conversation classes generally continue throughout the year and can be started at any time of the year, although please confirm this with the teacher.

As we prefer school-aged children to immerse themselves in our classes; it is preferable that parents do not attend class. You can wait in our corridor; seats are available. Parents must be present for the preschool playgroup.

We pride ourselves at offering free or affordable events & classes throughout the year, but our association has to bear the cost of bills, rent, etc… That is why every membership subscription contributes to assisting with these costs, and supporting our small community.

Membership grants you discounts with the Cheese Wheel, and with a range of French children & teenagers magazines’ subscriptions. It also enables access to our large library, designed for all ages.

Most of our events are open to the general public. However, a discounted rate usually applies to members.

Our membership rates are very low and do not cover the full cost of most of our events. This funding model means that your membership fee remains low and you only contribute more for events that you decide to attend.
