Important Fee Information
Not all courses are government funded and therefore eligible for Fee Remission. We carry out a fee assessment to ensure we can offer any reduced fees wherever possible.
If you are required to pay a fee for your course (e.g., you do not meet any of the Fee Remission criteria, your chosen course is not eligible for government funding, or the course is co-funded), by enrolling onto the course you are committing to paying the stipulated fee, including any cost incurred should you withdraw from the course within 10 working days prior to the course start date.
The full course fee must be paid in advance of the course start date. If the course fee is over £300, it can be paid in 3 pre-agreed instalments within the first 3 months of the course start date. Until fee payments have been confirmed, your enrolment will not be guaranteed and you will not be permitted to attend any classes.
A £25 admin fee is paid towards the enrolment process. We are not able to refund this admin fee unless the course is cancelled by the college.
Please do not proceed with your enrolment unless you are entirely comfortable with payment arrangements and obligations outlined above.
