Refunds A full refund will be given under the following circumstances only: • The course times or dates change so it is no-longer convenient for you • The course closes because there are insufficient numbers on the course Helping you pay All of our courses are individually priced and most courses have 3 prices. The first is the full price, which most people will pay, the second for those claiming the state pension and the third for those on means tested benefits. If there is only one price shown then this applies to everyone, and there are no discounts. What about examination fees? All examination and registration fees are included in the course price unless otherwise stated. 4 Changing my mind if I have signed up online or over the phone. If you sign up for the course over the telephone or on line then you have 14 days in which to change your mind and we will give you a full refund. However this does not apply if the course starts within the 14 day period or you apply after the course has started. Once the course has started you will not receive a refund, if you change your mind.

We know that for some people being able to take part in adult education is only possible if they receive assistance towards the costs of tuition, exam fees, travel, books, materials and childcare. We cannot support all courses so please ring 01904 554277 to find out if the course is eligible for support. All refunds offered apart from those listed above are subjected to an administration fee of £15. eM Can I spread the cost of my payments? Our easy payment methods, to help you spread the costs are available on all courses over £100. This is done via direct debit and is generally for 4 payments spread over 4 months. On occasion we are able to set up payment schedules over a longer period but this cannot extend beyond the end date for the course. You should note that if you set up a direct debit you must not cancel it before the payment schedule is complete, even if you leave the course early. If you cancel your direct debit then the full cost of the course will be payable. Under all other circumstances we can only offer a refund in exceptional circumstances. Once a course commences we cannot offer any refunds. This is because course fees make up a significant part or sometimes all of the funding for the course which then makes it viable to run.
