Fees and Funding

Our courses are subsidised by the Department for Education and, in some cases, there is no tuition fee to pay. Where fees are paid, our standard rate is £7.50. The cost of our unfunded (full cost recovery) courses will vary depending on the course. 

Depending on your circumstances you may be eligible for a 50% reduction in Tailored Learning course fees, or funding to cover the costs of an accredited qualification. This does not include our unfunded (full cost recovery) courses, which are not eligible for concessions.

Refunds

You won’t be eligible for a refund if you cancel your place within 7 days of your course starting, unless your circumstances meet those covered in our Fees Policy.

Whilst we will make every effort to run your course, there are some circumstances which may prevent us from doing so. In these cases, we will refund you for any complete missed sessions or offer extra sessions to complete your course.
