Eligibility Requirements

We are different from many other education centres in that many of our courses are open to women with few or no existing qualifications. Entry requirements for our range of higher level courses vary and are listed in our course prospectus which you can load from this site. Whichever course you choose, we will talk with you first and provide guidance in order to give you the best chance to succeed.

Fees
All our courses are competitively priced with reduced fees available for those on means tested benefits. Most students pay only a small fee based on the length of the course they choose.

Some courses may be grant funded, which means that no fees are payable. All courses are also free to students aged 18 or under who are not sponsored by their school, employer or managing agent.

Terms and Conditions
All students are required, as a condition of enrolment, to abide by the terms of the Student Charter. Copies are made available to students at induction, or can be viewed online by clicking on Student Charter.

We will make all reasonable efforts to deliver the course programme as scheduled, in accordance with the descriptions contained in the prospectus. However, as a charitable trust which relies on funding in order to deliver its educational provision, we retain the right to vary the content of courses and to merge, combine or discontinue any courses that do not attract sufficient numbers of students.

Where it becomes necessary to cancel or discontinue a course offered in the prospectus, we will make every effort to offer students the opportunity to transfer to an alternative course.

Our liability for breach of contract is restricted to reimbursement of actual fees paid by the student or their sponsor.
