Fee Guide for Full-time courses

How much will my College course cost?

There are four parts to the cost of a course:

1. Tuition Fees

These pay for the cost of teaching and are subsidised from public funds. Students must re-enrol and pay further fees for any additional courses and for following years of study.

2. Resource Fees

There will be a charge on some courses for course materials and visits. Where possible these costs are shown in this course guide. This charge is not optional or subsidised and is charged to all learners, including those aged 19 on 31st August 2009.

3. College Registration Fees

College registration fees are payable for each year of your course. The College registration fee for full-time students is £44. These fees are used to help with enrichment activities.

4. Examination/Assessment Fees

Estimates of examination entry and registration fees for examining boards and professional bodies are printed where available on this website. These fees may be payable at enrolment.

When do I have to pay the fees?

Fees are payable in advance, at or before enrolment. In most cases this will attract a discount (on tuition fees only) of 10%. College registration and resource fees are also payable at enrolment.

Part payment of fees:

Fees are due before your course starts, however, part payment arrangements may be possible where you do not have the means to pay in full at the time of enrolment. You will be asked to complete a Part Payment Agreement and you will be given further information at that time.

Professional kits and equipment:

For some courses you will need to buy professional equipment (e.g. catering knives, hairdressing, beauty or manicure kits etc). You will need to purchase these yourselves before you start your course. You can apply for financial assistance to help meet these costs. These costs are stated in the course information on this website and will also be discussed at interview.

International students:

If you are a student from a non EU country, you may have to pay international fees, plus any additional costs.

For information on international fees, visa extensions, accommodation and studying in the UK please contact the International Student team on (+44) 01273 667788 extension 739 or email intapps@ccb.ac.uk

European students:

If you are a students from an EU country, in most cases you will pay the same fees and have to follow the same rules as UK students. You will need to provide evidence of nationality (e.g. passport. If you cannot produce a passport you will be asked to sign a self declaration form stating that you are an EU student) and residence within the EU (bank statement, school certificates, tenancy agreement, employment contract etc.) at enrolment.

Ways to pay:

Payment can be made by cash, cheque, credit / debit card, direct debit or BACs. Contact the Finance office for further details on 01273 667788 ext. 324 or 01273 667795.

Fee and other cost refunds:

The College operates a strict no refund policy. Refunds will usually only be considered if a course has been cancelled by the college. Requests for, or queries relating to, refunds must be made in writing to the Finance Department or email finance@ccb.ac.uk.
