Evidence of entitlement to concessionary fees must be produced either at time of course payment or during your first class. Failure to do so will result in a full fee being charged.

Are there any extra costs?

Students are expected to provide their own textbooks, stationery and any materials required. Where materials are provided, students must pay for these. In some subject areas, students will be required to pay for photocopied materials that they retain. Students are also responsible for payment of examination and accreditation fees. Your tutor will advise in these matters. 

Viability – Published fees for classes may be subject to increase if the minimum number of enrolments is not reached each term. If any class is not financially viable, you will be given the choice to pay extra for the class to continue.

Are charges difficult for you?

If anyone is experiencing difficulty in meeting the fee, please get in touch with office staff at the appropriate centre, so that this can be discussed. Your enquiry will be handled in confidence. Arrangements can be made for course fees to be paid in instalments or by standing order over the period of the course.
