Discounts and support
CKE stands for creativity for everyone. That means we also want to be affordable for everyone. That’s why we offer various ways to make our courses more accessible and/or appealing.
Discounts
The discounts below apply within the 2026-2027 season (1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027).
Ongoing Learning Discount
We encourage students to continue their creative journey at CKE. Anyone who takes multiple courses within one season receives a 5% discount per additional course. The discount is applied to the cheapest course(s): for two courses, on the cheapest one; for three courses, on the two cheapest; and so on. The discount applies per person.
Household Discount
We also invite multiple people from the same household to take courses together at CKE. Each household receives a 5% discount for every additional student (from the second one onwards). The discount is applied to the cheapest course(s) in the household: for two students, on the cheapest course; for three students, on the two cheapest courses; and so on. We calculate the Household Discount at the end of the season and settle it against your payment.
Members of a household live at the same address, and their course fees are paid from the same bank account.
Payment Discount
If you pay the full course fee for a course of 18 or 36 weeks in one go, you receive a 2% payment discount.
Combining discounts
The Ongoing Learning Discount is applied immediately at enrolment. The Household Discount is calculated separately at the end of the season and is added on top of any Ongoing Learning Discount. The Payment Discount is separate and is awarded when you qualify for it.
Not applicable
The discounts above apply only to courses of 9, 18, or 36 weeks. They do not apply to workshops, to the Talent Programmes, or to individual music lessons offered through partner organisations.
Financial Support from Other Sources

- Don’t have access to a computer or need help registering? Visit the CKE reception during opening hours for assistance or to pick up a paper form.
