What you pay for
-
Course Fees
These depend on the length and type of course and include tuition fees, exam fees and registration fees, where applicable. Course fees are payable in full at enrolment or by instalment (conditions apply).
Please note: Where examinations are associated with a particular course, there is an expectation that if you enrol, you will go on to take the exams. Anyone not wishing to do so should seek advice from the College prior to enrolment, in order to determine whether you can be accepted onto your chosen course.
-
Materials Fees
These include any materials fees that you are required to pay in full when you enrol.
-
Additional fees post-enrolment
These are estimated and include fees that are not collected at enrolment; for example some courses require that you pay exam and registration fees direct to award or professional body.
-
Incidental materials costs
Wherever possible, materials costs have already been included in the above fees, but there may be occasions when you need to provide incidental materials, particularly in relation to creative courses and workshops. These are dependent on the work undertaken and could range from photographic film to ingredients for cookery workshops.
Please note: Some courses last more than one year. You are advised to check before enrolling as additional fees are payable in Year 2. You should also be aware that fees policies may change between Year 1 and Year 2.
You also may be eligible for a fee reduction or a free course. Please see Reduced and Remitted Fees for Further Education Students.
