19 Sussex Downs College Course Guide 2014/15
+
WELCOME
I am delighted you are thinking about joining us at Sussex Downs College. We offer learning opportunities to adults of all ages, who are from a range of backgrounds and starting points and who have very different ambitions. We know this creates a rich and exciting learning environment. Adults of all ages come to College for many reasons; to update and develop expertise, to learn new skills, to change career direction, to get a job, or simply to have fun and meet new people. Whatever your reasons for learning, I hope you will find this guide helpful. We list the wide range of courses and qualifications on offer, and also outline our support services, the facilities available and details of course fees, which we know are an important consideration for everyone. Finance needn’t be a barrier to gaining new skills and for some students, these fees can be reduced. The Government rules can be complicated, so to answer any questions you may have, we have friendly advisers in our Student Services Team who can explain more. At Sussex Downs College our courses have enrolment dates throughout the year. Perhaps you are considering a new career direction, or would like to enhance your skills in order to develop in your current profession. If so, you could gain a nationally recognised qualification which will help you to move forward in your dream career. Or maybe you are looking to try something new; to learn a skill which could become a hobby, or even a job. We cater for all abilities, so whether you are a complete beginner, or are looking to build on what you already know, we’re sure you’ll find something to suit you. And have you thought about studying with us at undergraduate level? At Sussex Downs you can take a degree (or even a post graduate qualification) validated by the University of Brighton. If you want to change your career or job, you could benefit from our close working relationships with employers and our Recruitment Service. You could receive support to refresh your job search skills and interview techniques, as well as industry-specific training to help you re-enter the job market. Our former students keep in touch with us and tell us about their career pathways and life experiences – their stories are inspiring and surprising! Take a chance - make a change - and see where it takes you.

ADVANCED LEARNING YOU are YOUR
BEST INVESTMENT
value your
FUTURE
No matter what stage of life you’re at, the opportunity to study has never been more within your reach. The Government’s nonmeans tested 24+ Advanced Learning Loan means anybody over the age of 24 can improve their qualifications on a ‘buy now, pay later’ basis. The College offers support in applying for the loan to help pay towards the costs of its advanced courses at Level 3 or 4 – which include A Levels, Access to Higher Education, Diplomas and Certificates. Receiving the loan doesn’t depend on household income or credit history and repayments won’t start until 2016 – and only then if your earnings are above £21,000 per year. If you’re interested in finding out more about Advanced Learning Loans, our fast facts will tell you all you need to know.
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I APPLY FOR? It depends on the type of course you take and the cost of the course. The minimum loan amount is £300.
HOW IS THE LOAN PAID? The loan will be paid directly to the College once you have attended your course for two weeks or more.
HOW MANY LOANS CAN I APPLY FOR?
HOW DO I APPLY? 1. You can apply either online at www.gov.uk/advanced-learning-loans or by post now. You can apply for a course that has already started after that date but not after a course has finished. 2. Applications can take up to five weeks to process but you can track your application. 3. You will need to know your National Insurance Number as no monies can be paid without this. 4. You will also need another source of identity, such as a valid passport or birth certificate.
WHAT ABOUT REPAYING THE LOAN? 1. You will not begin loan repayments until April 2016 - even if your course finishes before then. 2. Repayments of the loan, plus interest, will start once you reach the income threshold of £21,000. If your income should drop below this, repayments will be halted until the £21,000 threshold is reached again. 3. If you are self-employed, you will make repayments as part of your self-assessment in your tax return.
WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT STUDYING ONCE I HAVE TAKEN OUT THE LOAN? If you leave or change your course after the initial two weeks you will be liable to pay the full amount of the course fees for the programme.
WHAT IF I WANT TO PROGRESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION EVENTUALLY?
You can apply for up to four loans, but you can only take out one loan at a time. You can’t get a loan to do another similar level course, for instance, two at Level 3, except for A Levels.
If you apply for a loan to cover your Access to Higher Education course and then successfully complete a degree, you will not have to pay back your Advanced Learning Loan – it will be written off.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM ELIGIBLE?
To find out more about 24+ Advanced Learning Loans and which courses at Sussex Downs College are eligible for support, contact Student Services on 030 300 39551.
1. You must be over 24 years old on the day you start the course. 2.

UNDERSTANDING LEVELS
Sussex Downs College offers a wide variety of programmes. Some lead to nationally recognised qualifications at different levels, the details of which can be difficult to get to grips with. Our friendly staff in Student Services are always available to give advice and guidance, but for a brief overview of how qualifications compare, take a look at the table, showing the different levels and what they can lead to. In some cases you will need to start at Level 1 or 2 to ensure you gain the background knowledge and skills you need. In others, as long as you have achieved a certain level of qualification, e.g GCSE at grade C, you can go on to higher study. If you are employed in a role that requires higher level skills and competence, you may be able to ‘jump’ a level.
