Important
Information
An enrolment (place on a course) is for the person who is identified on
the enrolment form, or whose personal details are given at the time the
enrolment is taken. The enrolment (place on a course) is not transferable to
another person.
The responsibility for payment of the FULL course fee (either full
fee or concessionary fee) remains your responsibility even if your status
changes.
Therefore, if you are paying for part of your course using our
payment plan system, you are still liable for any fees proven to be outstanding
against your payment plan agreement.
Explanation of Fees
If your course is advertised showing a material fee, you will be
expected to pay this when you enrol -please see your course information sheet
for details.
Payment of Fees
Places on courses cannot
be reserved without payment, proof of benefit or self-declaration form (if
applicable), or a letter from your employer confirming that they will pay the
total course fees.
There are a number of ways that you can pay for your
course:
Online - using a
debit or credit card.
By Cash
- in person only at Hyde Park House, Mutley Plain, Plymouth, PL4 6LF
with
your fully completed and signed enrolment form and proof of benefit or
self-declaration, if applicable.
By Cheque or Postal Order - either in person at Hyde Park House, Mutley
Plain, Plymouth, PL4 6LF or by post to the same address. If posting, please

the payment. You can only enrol by telephone if you are paying the FULL course
fee and have received an enrolment pack; we will complete the enrolment for you
whilst you are on the telephone.
By Payment Plan - while our courses
offer excellent value for money, we are aware that for some of our learners it
would be most helpful to be able to spread the payments. For that reason, and
for personal enrolments there is a payment banding system available to make
payment for individual courses easier.

your enrolment. Failure to do so may affect your credit score.

outstanding debt.
If your
employer is paying for your course - we require a letter from your employer
on their company headed paper, with your enrolment form, stating that they will
pay the total fee for the course. We will then arrange for an invoice to be
sent. The employer will not be eligible for any reduced fee (concession), or
have the option to pay using our payment plan system.

regarding your attendance and achievement may be disclosed to your employer at
their request.
