Part-time and Short College Course Fee Guide

How much will my Part-time college course cost?

The fees published relate to learners aged 19 and over on 31st August 2009. Learners aged under 19 on 31st August 2009 are liable for resource fees only. In some cases the fees may be subject to change.

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 on this website. This charge is not optional or subsidised and is charged to all learners.

3. College Registration Fees

College registration fees are payable for each year of your course. City College registration fee for part-time students is £26. 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?

Fees are payable in advance, at the time of enrolment. If paid in full at the time of enrolment, this will attract a discount (on tuition fees only) of 10%. College registration and resource fees are also payable at enrolment. Please note: 10% prompt payment tuition fee discount does not apply to full cost (non LSC funded) courses.

Part payment of fees

Fees are due before your course starts. Part payment arrangements may be possible if you cannot 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.

Ways to pay

Payment can be made by cash, cheque, credit/debit card, direct bank transfers or direct debit. Contact the Finance Office for further details on 01273 667788 or finance@ccb.ac.uk.

Refunds

City College operates a strict 'no refund' policy, unless a course has been cancelled by the College and no suitable alternative can be found. Queries relating to refunds must be made in writing to the Finance Department or e-mail finance@ccb.ac.uk.

Professional kits and equipment

For some courses you wil 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 the course. You can apply for financial assistance to help you meet these costs.

FC courses

If the course code for the course you are applying for begins with the prefix FC, then this course is full cost. This means that you will have to pay all course fees in full regardless of your status as they do not qualify for fee remission or financial assistance.
