Help with the costs

If you are in receipt of means tested benefits, or are a dependant of someone who is, you may be entitled to a reduced fee. Not all courses are entitled to a reduction so double-check in the column title RF (Reduced Fee). It may say N/A, meaning that a reduced fee is not applicable to this course, or there may be a figure in the box. This figure is the amount that you will pay when you enrol on the course. It includes compulsory costs, such as exam fees and a deposit. This deposit will be refunded on successful completion of the qualification. There may be additional costs for materials depending of the nature of your course. It may be possible to pay by instalments.
