Please be aware that a fee waiver is not available on some of our courses. It is important to note that fees are payable in full, prior to or at the time of enrolment, unless an instalment plan is agreed. Failure to pay the fees or enter into an agreed instalment plan will result in the student not being able to enrol. Full fees remain payable in the event of a student withdrawing or being withdrawn from the course for conduct reasons. See further details below for information on instalment plans.

Apprenticeships An Apprenticeship is a job with training, providing the chance to ‘earn and learn’ in a wide range of jobs and sectors, and it gives you the chance to develop skills, experience and qualifications. Apprenticeships are more than just qualifications: they are an excellent way of gaining workplace experience, understanding how a business works, improving personal and social skills and advancing in a career. To be eligible for an apprenticeship you must either be employed on a full time contract by an employer willing to support your training or have an offer of employment as an apprentice. East Kent College offers a wide range of apprenticeships across most sectors. We also work directly with local employers and the latest apprenticeship vacancies are advertised at www.eastkent.ac.uk, so make sure you check for the latest opportunities. For further details contact 01843 605062.
