Instalments MUST be by Direct Debit
A deposit is payable at the time of enrolment followed by equal monthly instalments, that must be paid via Direct Debit. Please note that the payee (not always the student) will need to complete a Direct Debit mandate.
Loans not approved
For FE Courses (Advanced Learner Loans), students without an approved loan will have 35 days, from the course start date, to obtain their loan. If an approved loan is not in place at this point your place on the course will be reviewed by the Executive Director Finance & Resources.
For HE courses, no deposit is required if the student can evidence a loan application/approval. But they must be made aware that they are personally liable for their fees if they fail to obtain a student loan.
