DEPOSITS
For all courses we allow potential students to pay a Reservation Fee, and on most other courses a deposit to secure or
hold a place on that course:
- Reservation Fee: Our current fee is a standard £30 for all courses. Payment of this fee secures a place on the
chosen course, subject to availability, and can be upgraded to Holding, Standard, or Full payments at a later date. - Holding deposit: May be paid where the course dates have not been confirmed or the course date(s) is (are)
further than six months in the future. Can be upgraded to Standard deposit at any time subject to payment of
the balance between the two deposits. In all circumstances, Holding deposits must be upgraded to Standard no
later than six weeks before the course start date. If balance payments are not received by this date, the place on
the course will be cancelled. Amounts due: for courses less than £500 - 25% of the course fee. For all other
courses - 15% of the course fee. - Standard deposit: May be paid at any time up to two weeks before the course start date. Any balance of
payment of the Full course fee will be due no later than the course start date. If balance payments are not
received by this date, the place on the course will be cancelled. Amounts due: for courses less than £500 - 50%
of the course fee. For all other courses - 25% of the course fee.
MONTHLY PAYMENT - (available for most courses unless otherwise stated on the Course Fees Leaflet)
- Monthly payments may be made through a Standing Order Mandate with the students’ bank or Building Society;
we do not take monthly payments by cash, cheque, or card. (Applicants must request, complete, and return a
Standing Order form no later than four weeks before the course start date). There is an administration charge of
4% for processing Standing Order payments. A Standard Deposit must be paid if students wish to pay course fees
through the monthly payment option. - Attendance on course sessions will only be permitted providing a cleared monthly payment reaches our bank
account within seven working days of the session date. - Once a student begins any course he/she is liable for the full fee whether he/she graduates or not. If he/she
stops the monthly payments for any reason he/she must make a payment to cover the remaining monthly
payments.
REFUNDS
- If any student cancels their course prior to the start date, we will refund the amount they paid less a Cancellation
fee (see below). - If any student withdraws after the course starts, we will refund the amount they paid less a Cancellation fee (see
below) and payment for any sessions attended. - Refund of the full amount paid will only be granted if: a) the course is full or b) the application is turned down.
Cancellation Fees - The following penalties apply for cancellations and/or withdrawals:
- For cancellations made more than six weeks before the course start date, we will refund the deposit less a 15%
admin charge levied on monies paid. - For cancellations made within six weeks of the course start date, we will refund the deposit less a 30% admin
charge levied on monies paid. - For any other withdrawal from the course the admin charge is 60%.
