How to Apply & Enrol

Our online application and enrolment service makes joining a course at Bolton College even easier and, once you have your own Learner Hub account, you can use it to check on the progress of your applications and enrolments.

To join one of our courses, follow the simple guide below. If you need help enrolling, please use our live chat service available from any of our website pages.

For fee information visit www.bit.ly/ bolton-fees

Visit our website and read all about the course you are interested in. Courses are grouped together by subject so you can read about, and compare, all the options on offer. You’ll find the website link for each subject area on the course listings page of this guide.

Here’s an example of the link you need to click on or type in to your search browser:

Once you have decided on the course you would like to study (don’t forget to read the entry requirements to ensure that your chosen course is suitable for you) click the yellow button on the right of your screen to either ‘Apply’ or ‘Enrol’.

If the ‘Apply’ button is showing – this means you need to speak to a member of staff before you can enrol. Use the ‘Apply’ button to create your Bolton College Learner Hub account and fill in an application form. You should only need to do this bit once.

We will communicate with you by email and text so please enter your mobile number and email address carefully. Once we have your application form, we will text you with a link to book a telephone interview. If the ‘Enrol’ button is showing – you can enrol straight away. Use the ‘Enrol’ button to create your new Bolton College Learner Hub account or log into your existing account and then click through the screens to complete your enrolment. See next page for more information on enrolling.

It is easy to create your Learner Hub account once you see this page:

Simply click on ‘Create an Account’ and answer the questions.

If you already have a Learner Hub account, log in using your username and password. Don’t worry if you forget your password, just click ‘Forgot your password’ and enter your username or the email address you used to set up your account. Then, follow the link in your password reset email.

Enrolling on to a course

Once your Learner Hub account is set up, you are ready to enrol and pay (if appropriate). Work your way through the screens, filling in the details carefully. We will ask you questions about your:

Name, address and contact details, residency status, employment status, existing qualifications and equality and diversity. If you don’t pay your course fees, you’ll need to tell us why. You will also need to upload evidence if you are asked to (it’s just like uploading a picture to Facebook or WhatsApp).

Once you have answered these questions you will need to:

• Read and confirm you understand our terms and conditions • Pay your fees (if appropriate) and submit your enrolment

Top tips!

1) Before applying/enrolling we would suggest you have some information ready so that you can upload it when you are asked to including, (where applicable) evidence of your benefits or wages, your National Insurance number and your proof of residency. If you pay for your courses you will also need a credit or debit card.

2) You can save your application/enrolment at any stage, but you must return to complete it within 4 hours of starting or you may need to start again. To return to your Learner Hub homepage visit:
