Improve your Skills Boost your career options Whatever your reason for considering coming to College, which might include progressing or changing your career, up-skilling to provide new opportunities in the employment market, returning to work after a break or continuing with the next level of course, we hope you will come to one of our campuses across north and central Birmingham. Having the right skills for employment is more important now than ever before. Our programmes focus on the skills required by local employers and you will gain qualifications which meet their needs.

Our recent Ofsted Inspection recognised our excellence in working with employers : “Many learners have gained significantly from the College’s outstanding partnerships with a large number of external organisations and employers.” Our courses are designed to fit in with your work and family commitments, full-time or part-time and run during evenings or weekends. All courses lead to recognised qualifications and relate to national occupational standards.

Fees Learn new skills - change your career New Government funding to help adult learners Adult learners may get their tuition fees fully funded on Government supported courses. Learners who are in receipt of benefits and are unemployed, wishing to access free training will be encouraged to enrol onto courses that directly link to employers’ needs and skills gaps in the region. Payment of fees Students who are unable to qualify for fee remission will be required to pay fees at enrolment. We accept payment by credit/debit cards or cash. Instalment arrangements are available where the fees payable are in excess of £150 and the course duration is 12 weeks or more. To pay by instalments you need to

make an initial payment at enrolment and set up a direct debit for the further instalment(s). To do this you will need to bring with you to enrolment a bank statement for an account from which direct debits can be taken. We only require the statement to verify your address and account details. We do not require a copy.

Examination and awarding body fees Examination and awarding body fees must be paid at enrolment. However, if you receive benefits you may be able to apply to the Learner Support Fund to have the fees paid or reimbursed. Please ask at enrolment for details.

If you do not bring your bank statement when you come to enrol, payment by instalment will not be available. A £25 penalty fee is payable to the College where direct debit(s) are unduly cancelled.

Employer funding If your employer is sponsoring you for your course, please bring a letter confirming this, which has been signed by your employer on their letter headed paper, asking the College to invoice them (or a company cheque for the full amount).
