Course fees

Course fees can be found on each individual course listing or you can download our adult education guide which gives full details of all course fees.

All fees are inclusive of a £15.00 registration fee which is payable on the first enrolment each academic year. If you are enrolling for more than one course during this academic year, please deduct £15.00 from the cost of the second and subsequent enrolments.

The fees shown are inclusive of examination/assessment costs unless stated.

A 10% surcharge applies if you wish to pay by instalments, to a maximum of £30.00.

Administration charges are not refundable. If within 4 weeks of the start of the course, you and/or your tutor decide that the
course is not suitable to your particular training needs, you will be entitled to a 90% refund of the course fee. No refund
will be available after this time.

Please note that if paying by instalments, the refund policy still applies. For short courses, refunds will only be available if the candidate withdraws at least one week before the start of the course.
