Legal assistance with admission problems for vocational education

Questioner

hi, I registered at a vocational school, I had an intake test and interview and later received the letter stating that I had been admitted to the course. This also stated which books I had to order and what my introduction days were. However, I have to start my training next week and they sent me a letter 2 days ago saying that I had not been accepted for the training. I called the school and the system says I was rejected and that they can't do anything about it and that they will refund my money. After a lot of calling and nagging I only got an appointment with a career counselor my question is: is the 1st letter binding? and how can i hold them to it? MvG

In order to answer this question, I need your education details and the letter you initially received stating that you were admitted. I also need the last letter stating that you were not admitted after all. In principle, the first letter is binding, which means that the school may not simply act contrary to it, to your disadvantage, unless there are serious reasons that justify this.
