How to Enrol

To enrol in Further Education you must be over compulsory school leaving age – 16 years of age on or before 1 July in year of entry. You should complete an enrolment form and submit it to the College, either in person or by post, along with the correct fee. If you are employed and your employer has agreed to pay the fee, evidence of this must be shown at enrolment. Suitable evidence includes a signed letter from your employer or their signature and company stamp on the back of the enrolment form. Your place will only be secure when the fee has been paid.

On enrolment you will be given a receipt which will show the amount paid, the start date and location of your course. The College will endeavour to run all courses as advertised. However, we reserve the right to cancel courses which do not attract sufficient numbers. In this case students who have enrolled will be entitled to a full refund.

International Applicants - For certain College courses, students for whom English is not their first language, may be required to provide evidence of English Language ability – minimum IELTS Score 5 or equivalent. The College can arrange for you to do a FREE ESOL assessment, please contact Student Services.
