How do I get a refund for a course?
Written by Pat Bowden | Last updated on October 12th, 2025
Payments for courses are processed by the course providers, not Class Central. You need to contact the provider for questions relating to payments or refunds. Look for a Help, FAQ, Support or Contact Us link or icon on the course provider’s site.
Some courses run on a subscription basis. Un-enrolling from a course or closing your account may not necessarily stop the subscription payments. It is vital to follow the provider's correct procedure to cancel subscriptions.
Here are links for some of the large course providers:
