Enrolling in educational courses falls under the category of (lease), and it is a binding contract for both parties that is not permissible to dissolve except with a valid excuse. If the contract is concluded and the lessee (student) makes themselves available, the full fee becomes obligatory, even if they do not benefit from the leased benefit, as long as the teaching is ongoing and no excuse arises. Therefore, the participant is obligated to pay the full fee unless the other party waives their right, or part of it, with their consent.
