Whilst every effort is made to ensure that details listed on the website are correct, changes may occur to the courses/fees we offer and/or the services and facilities available.
Any changes may result in a difference to the course fee as advertised on the website (where the student is a fee payer). In some cases where there are insufficient enrolments, you may be offered the chance to pay a higher fee for the course to continue.
Award and assessment fees are also subject to occasional changes by the Awarding Bodies. You will be contacted should the amount change prior to starting the course you have enrolled upon.
The College cannot guarantee that completion dates and result notifications for courses that require internal and external verification will always coincide with the end dates of the courses listed.
