For the extra school year, provided there is sufficient room in class, you only pay the registration fee.
Please send your request (at least) two weeks prior to start of the school year to our administration: [email protected]
A student loan can be offered when you cannot pay the fees at once.
The Henk Wever Fonds is a fund which supports students that are already working in the world of sailing.

Students will thus be able to develop themselves professionally.
