How much does it cost to join the academy?
The cost for each class is R150 which includes the rental of the RC equipment. Typically, quarters are 10 weeks long. For parents choosing to pay for an entire quarter, there will be a discount of 1 lesson, therefore, the quarterly fee is R1350 (payable upfront).
A once-off registration cost of R250 per year will be charged which includes a super cool RC Academy shirt.
How does the costs work if I join late?
If a student joins late, the costs will be calculated on a pro-rata basis. Catch-up classes can be accomdated on request but will be at a charge. However, the total cost (pro-rata + additional charges) will not be more expensive than the normal quarterly fee.
Can I join the academy late in the quarter?
In most cases the answer is YES. If too many classes have been missed and only a couple of classes remain before the next quarter starts it might be advisable to rather wait for two or three weeks. But if only a couple of classes were missed, the student can still join
Do I need my own equipment?
RCA will supply RC Cars for training sessions thus reducing the cost and making the sport accessible and affordable to almost anyone.
