* Level 2/3 Entitlement. Students who may be eligible for free courses are as follows: those aged under 24 on the first day of the course who studying their first full Level 2 qualification, or an Entry Level or Level 1 course in order to progress to their first Level 2, those studying their first full Level 3 qualification and who are aged under 25 on the first day of the course.
** Failure to pay your course fee or satisfy fee remission criteria will delay your enrolment and could jeopardise your place on the course. Opting to pay in instalments commits you to paying for the full course even in the event of you being unable to continue. If you are experiencing difficulties paying your fees you must contact the Finance Department straight away and we will make every effort to help you.
