All early applications will be processed on a daily basis according to the date received at the College, following on from this, it is a question of chance as to the order in which each enrolment is opened.

How do I pay? Cheques should be made payable to the ‘States of Guernsey’. If you are applying for more than one course please enclose separate cheques for each course. This will enable us to return fees for courses that are already full and still process other applications without delay. Alternatively you may pay by debit or credit card. Please do not include card details, we will telephone you to take payment details, or you may call in person into College to pay to provide the card information.

Can I pay the course fee by instalments or by post-dated cheque? Unfortunately, no. You will not have your application confirmed until payment is received in full. Remember, payment can be made with a credit card or debit card, cheque, postal order or cash.

Why are some courses more expensive? It depends on the duration of the course and some additional fees contribute towards the cost of demonstration materials, handouts, artist models or exams, and this is reflected in the course fee. Books and equipment, e.g. flowers or cooking ingredients, may need to be purchased on some courses.

What happens if the course I want is full? Our policy is to accept applications on a first come, first served basis on receipt of fees. However, if a course is full a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name will automatically be placed on a waiting list. If the waiting list is sufficiently large and additional tutors and facilities

adult education 2016-17

are available, another course may be arranged. All those on the waiting list will be contacted by letter or telephone with the details. The first come, first served rule also applies here. Should a place become available on a new course, the first person on the waiting list is telephoned and offered the place. Only one call will be made to each person on the list. If that person cannot be contacted, the next person is contacted. If you are offered a place, you may register over the telephone using your credit or debit card. Alternatively, we will hold the place for one working day to enable you to register and pay in person. However, after the hold period expires, the first come, first served rule applies and the place may be offered to the next person on the list. If the course you wish to enrol on is fully subscribed then a refund will be sent to you.

What if my course is relocated, rescheduled or cancelled? We make every effort to avoid doing this, but occasionally it is necessary. This is why it is vitally important for us to have your current telephone numbers in order that we can contact you as speedily as possible. If the new time slot or venue is not acceptable to you, a full refund will be issued.

Why are some courses cancelled? A minimum enrolment number is required to recover the full costs of providing the course. If the numbers of students fail to reach this minimum, we reluctantly cancel the course. We contact the applicants and provide a full refund, or offer a transfer to another course, if a suitable one is available.

Cancellation or curtailment of sessions of courses that have already started. If a session of a course has to be cancelled or curtailed due to circumstances beyond our control, it may not be possible to re-schedule the session or sessions due to time constraints or unavailability of suitable premises or tutor. A refund will be issued.

What if I wish to cancel my place on the course? A refund may be payable in some circumstances.

GALP The Guernsey Adult Literacy Project was created six years ago in response to growing concerns about literacy levels in the adult population. GALP now employs four trained teachers who work with adults of all ages helping them to improve their literacy skills. The charity helps approximately one hundred learners every year. Some may only need three or four sessions to help them improve; others may attend for several weeks or months. Some come along because they want to improve their work prospects; others may want to help their children or grandchildren. GALP is based at the Skills Centre at Waitrose in Admiral Park but also works in partnership with other organisations including the Careers Service, Action For Children and the Library Service, all of whom have centres around the island where GALP staff are able to meet its students. The project also works with the Home Department, providing literacy training in the Prison, and with the Probation Service. GALP is also able to work with employers, providing literacy training in the workplace. The Guernsey Adult Literacy Project is a charity which funds its activities from donations and sponsorship. GALP also organises a range of fund-raising events in order to support its work. Over the past few years the Donkey Parade and the Cow Parade have proved to be extremely popular with both locals and visitors, and raised significant funds for the charity. If you are aware of anyone who could benefit from GALP, please call Janet Wakefield on 07781 402748

ADE_DaSS460Jan | Saints or Sinners? Controversial NEW heroines in Victorian novels In the 19th century, female wrongdoing was not only judged according to the law, but also according to patriarchal society’s idealised conception of womanhood. This six week course will study five novels by major writers in England, Germany and the deep south of America in which the heroines all have disconcerting ways of defying convention and are stigmatised for their inappropriate conduct. We will consider whether they were saints, victims of nineteenth century cultural prudery, or whether they were sinners who deserved their fates. Books to be studied: The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bronte (1848); Ruth Elizabeth Gaskell (1853); Lady Audley’s Secret, Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1862); Effi Briest, Theodor Fontane (1896); The Awakening, Kate Chopin (1899)
