Please download the attachment on the right hand side of this page for course costs.

Payment Conditions

You will need to send us either your full course fees for high risk countries or the deposit of 50% of course fees once a place on the course is offered. The balance must be paid 2 weeks before enrolment. Students will not be registered until the required fees have been paid. This deposit is non transferable from one term/year to another and can only be refunded if the student visa or entry clearance is denied.

Refund Policy

In order to obtain a refund, the student must provide proof in the form of a refusal notice from a British Embassy or the UK Border Agency (UKBA).

Refunds are subject to a £260 administration charge. There is no reduction in fees in the case of a late arrival or early departure from a course. A refund will NOT be considered if any of the following have occurred:

• The student has provided fraudulent or misleading information in their application.
• The student has broken the law or conditions of his/her visa and is thus required to leave the country as a consequence.
• The studentÂ’s visa is revoked as a consequence of not attending the course regularly.
• The student has broken the terms and conditions of admission to the college.

• The student wishes to leave the course without good reason.

No refunds will be given after a course/programme of study has started unless a course is discontinued and no suitable alternative is available. All applications for a refund must be made in writing, giving full details of why a refund is being asked for, and should be accompanied by any relevant documentary evidence.
