Terms & Conditions

These terms govern your use of the DOWMA website, student portal and course materials. By registering or enrolling you agree to them.

Last updated January 2026

Use of website

Visitors agree to use this website responsibly and lawfully — not to disrupt the service, attempt unauthorised access, scrape content, or upload harmful material.

Student registration

Students must provide accurate and current information when registering, keep their account credentials confidential, and inform us of any change to their contact details. Accounts are personal and must not be shared.

Course access

Course materials — videos, notes, charts and downloads — are provided for personal educational use only. Access is granted for the duration of the pathway and any agreed extension.

Intellectual property

All DOWMA material remains the property of the academy, including:

  • Lesson videos and recordings
  • Curriculum and course structure
  • Teaching materials and handouts
  • Downloads, charts and practice files
  • The DOWMA name, logo and brand assets

Material may not be copied, resold, redistributed, publicly performed as teaching content, or used to train automated systems without written permission.

Payments

  • Course fees are shown on each course page in pounds sterling.
  • Students may pay the full course fee up front, or in weekly per-session instalments where offered.
  • Where instalments are chosen, the remaining balance stays payable for the full pathway.
  • Refunds are considered within 14 days of enrolment where fewer than three lessons have been accessed.
  • Missed sessions cannot normally be refunded but may be rescheduled at faculty discretion.

Student conduct

Students are expected to maintain:

  • Respect for faculty, staff and fellow students
  • Integrity in assignments and assessments
  • Appropriate behaviour in classes, rehearsals and online spaces
  • Christian values consistent with the ethos of the academy

Serious or repeated breaches may result in suspension or withdrawal of access without refund.

Certification

A DOWMA certificate is issued when a student has completed every lesson in a pathway and submitted the required assignment for faculty review. Certificates confirm completion of DOWMA training and are not an accredited academic award.
