Resource Costs

Some courses involve equipment and resource costs for students (e.g. Graphics or Arts & Media courses). You will need to pay for any trips that form part of your course (e.g. theatre trips for Performing Arts courses). All students will also be asked to pay a refundable resource deposit; more details will be outlined during enrolment.

More information on resource costs can be found under each course listing.

CRB Checks

If you plan to study a Childcare course, you must complete an enhanced Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) check and register with the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) before the start of your course. All other students who want to go on a placement involving children or vulnerable adults will also have to complete an enhanced CRB check and register with the ISA. You will need to pay a fee for this process.

We will provide more information about CRB checks and ISA registration during the enrolment process. For further details please contact our Employer Engagement team on 01268 756 111 or email info@seevic-college.ac.uk
