Instalments
Instalment plans are available for courses costing £150 or more, a 10% surcharge will apply. If a learner withdraws before completing the course, the full remaining balance becomes payable.
The College reserves the right to suspend assessment of learners’ work who default on payments until the outstanding balance is paid.
Examination Fees
Resit Fees
Resit fees apply if a learner needs to retake all or part of an exam. These fees vary by course and are not included in the original course fee
Withdrawing from your course - Outstanding Debts
If you withdraw from your course early, the full course fee still applies. If you are paying by instalments or loan, the remaining balance becomes immediately payable. Refunds are not available.
If you enrolled without paying fees due to benefit entitlement or low wage status, the College would lose the public funding for your place upon withdrawal and reserves the right to invoice you for the full course fee.

Refunds
Refunds are not automatically granted. In cases of unforeseen circumstances, a credit note may be issued at the discretion of College management.
If the College cancels or closes a course, learners will be offered a suitable alternative or a full refund
