Ongoing clients

Timeslots are allocated by the system on a first-come-first-serve basis. It is impossible for ECA Education to overbook any given timeslot, in compliance with regulations of the Education Bureau.
Ad-hoc bookings can also be made via telephone. ECA Education will try to accommodate any such bookings, should a desired timeslot be unavailable, a suitable alternative will be suggested. Ad-hoc booking does not incur any extra service charges on top of our basic charge rate.
Ongoing clients are billed at the end of the month for the services used that month. Bills are due immediately. ECA Education does not provide credit terms.

A block-booking client is someone who wishes to attend ECA within a fixed time period for a definite number of lessons.   These students need not book through our online booking system.  They should contact our staff directly and book their desired time block.
