Will I have to pay for my full time course?

  • Courses are free if you are 16 to 18 years of age.
  • If you are over 19, concessions are available on some qualification courses depending on your circumstance and previous qualifications. We are currently awaiting confirmation from our Funding Bodies about which of our courses these concessions apply to for the 2012/2013 academic year. Please continue to visit this page for updates.

Are there any other costs?

  • If you enrol on a course which involves working with children or vulnerable adults, you will need to have a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check before you enrol. This will cost you £44 and is arranged by the College.
  • You may also have to pay for books and materials on some of our courses.
