1. Income support
2. Jobseeker’s allowance (you must study for less than 16 hours per week and have agreement from your benefits advisor)
3. Working tax credit*
4. Housing benefit

If you have difficulty in paying the course fee please let us know as assistance may be available for learner access.

Learners will be asked to provide their own materials whenever possible. The course fee does not include material costs and additional charges will be made where materials are provided for learners. Where possible, this materials fee is listed in the course information.

The continuation of a course is dependent on satisfactory enrolment numbers. The basic fee is calculated based on 12 learners per class. If this enrolment target is not met a higher fee may be charged providing all of the learners agree. Where the same class is running at another centre, learners will be given the opportunity to transfer.

Please note: We will not normally give refunds unless a course is cancelled.

The College welcomes learners with difficulties and disabilities. Wherever possible we will endeavour to provide the support necessary to ensure your success on any of our courses. If you feel you need help and would like to further explore this possibility then please indicate this on your enrolment form, speak to a tutor or a member of the administrative staff. There are very limited resources available to provide additional support however we will treat every request individually, and will try to accommodate your particular needs.
