Will I have to pay fees?
Learning Programmes at Level 3 and Below
School Leavers under the age of 19 do not have to pay fees on any full time courses, though may have to pay for their second year if turning 19 during their studies.
If you’re aged 19 or over you might qualify for an Advanced Learner Loan. It’s easy to apply for and you won’t have to pay anything back until you’re earning over £27,295. Find more information on Advanced Learner Loans on our website.
If you are studying a part-time course and you receive one of the following benefits, or you depend financially on someone who does, you may be entitled to have your tuition fees waived:
- Job Seeker's Allowance
- Income Support
You will, however, have to pay any awarding body/assessment fees (unless you are on a first full level 2 course).
Higher Education Courses at Level 4 and Above
The fee payable for your course is displayed in the table above and can be paid for in a number of ways:
- HE Loan
- Instalment Payment Plan
- Payment in full
* If you are in receipt of Working Tax Credit or receive other allowances, you may be eligible to claim concessionary rates. If you are entitled to a fee concession you will be asked to provide proof of your entitlement.
It is essential that you inform us if your entitlement changes at any time during your course.
For any questions about fees, remissions and entitlements, please contact our helpful Enrolments Team on 01329 815 200.

Course Information
This is often a student’s first formal qualification in
English, a functional skills course that provides practical skills for the
modern world and enables learners to get more from life. This course will suit
learners from a wide range of abilities and is a recognised qualification for
employment, training, education and also currently forms part of the
Apprenticeship framework.
Learning will focus on the development of reading, writing,
speaking and listening skills from Entry Level 1 to Level
2.
|
Assessment
Assessment is by examination of reading and writing skills,
plus presentation skills for speaking and listening.
|
Considerations
No textbooks are required. A folder, pens and paper will be
needed for each class.
|
Progression
A functional skills qualification will enable you to acquire
good levels of skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening that will
apply to everyday life. Learners can use this qualification to progress on to
Level 2 qualifications and GCSEs.
Entry into further training or employment will be much
easier with a functional skills qualification. Levels 1 and 2 can be used to
complete Apprenticeships.
