Yes, we are currently open. Part-time courses for the Winter 2022 Trimester are now in session. Workshops will start again in the spring.
Studio Policies:
As a private vocational school, DARA adheres to the coronavirus measures set forth by the central government for Higher Professional Education.
Safety measures in effect for all students and staff at DARA are the following:
Access to the studio is restricted to registered students, instructors, and models only.
It is required to wear a face mask while inside the building.
Each person keeps a 1,5 meter distance from others inside the studio.
Stay home if you test positive for the coronavirus, currently experience any symptoms, or if you have been ordered to self-quarantine.
Doing a COVID-19 self-test before coming to the studio is encouraged.
Ventilators are switched on during all lesson hours.
Stick to the basic rules: disinfect hands when entering the building, wash your hands often and thoroughly, cough/sneeze into your elbow, and keep enough distance from others.
What happens if a course is cancelled because of COVID-19?
If it will be necessary for DARA to cancel an entire course due to the coronavirus, students can opt for the following:
A full refund of course tuition, or;
Transfer the payment of course tuition to keep a space on hold in a different course of the student's choosing.
If an instructor is infected or exposed to the coronavirus in the middle of a course, make-up lessons will be scheduled at time convenient for the majority of students. Partial refunds are given if students cannot attend the make-up lessons.
Student absences due to COVID-19:
PART-TIME PROGRAMME If a student is absent due to the coronavirus, any lesson material that was missed will be sent by email. Refunds are given only in exceptional circumstances (for example, if a student is hospitalized due to the coronavirus.)
WORKSHOPS If a student is absent due to the coronavirus, he or she will be refunded the total sum of tuition for the days that were not attended. Absences for any reason other than contracting the virus will not be refunded.
Any changes or updates to our coronavirus measures will be published here. Please fill out our contact form or send an email to info@dutchartatelier.com with any questions or concerns.
