FEES & FUNDING EXPLAINED

FUNDING AND FINANCE – SUPPORT AVAILABLE

Fee waivers, Advanced Learner Loans and Higher Education Student Loans may be available, depending on your circumstances and the course you have chosen to study. Many students study for free. The course tables show whether courses are free for eligible learners. Fees are paid annually for courses longer than one year and the fees in this guide are for the full duration of the course, unless otherwise stated. Many courses are subsidised and we are able to reflect this in our competitive prices.

Please note, as this guide is printed in advance of course starting dates, fees may be subject to change.

ADULT LEARNER SUPPORT FUNDING*

If you are worried about other costs involved with continuing your education, we can help. Those who are 19+ and need help with College or course related expenses, such as travel, trips or uniform, have access to a number of different funds.

Learner Support Funding is for adults developing their careers through continued education. We can provide practical help to meet expenses directly associated with learning. Further information about each of these funds can be found on the College website.

If your circumstances change during your studies, there is support available.

• 19+ Learner Support Fund

• Advanced Learner Loan Bursary - only for applicants in receipt of Advanced Learner Loan

• Childcare Funding

• Access to Learning (Higher Education)

HOW DO I PAY FOR MY COURSE?

Course fees should be paid at enrolment by cash or card. We accept all major credit/debit cards, including Mastercard, Visa, Switch and Delta.

MANY STUDENTS STUDY FOR FREE

Flexible payments can be arranged by Standing Order.

If your employer is paying your course fees you must bring a letter of authorisation from them to enrolment. We will then issue an invoice to them directly for payment.

Advanced Learner Loan

You need to start your loan application during the enrolment process. Please bring along a current passport if you have one. All 19+ learners need to bring their National Insurance Number to enrol.
