Please contact the College for sponsorship details, college prospectus, course brochure, application pack, help and guidance.

The College charges tuition fees for each year a student enrols on a course. It is important that all students and sponsors are aware of the College requirements regarding the payment of tuition fees and have made the necessary arrangements for the funding of the course before enrolling.

Shortly after enrolment we will send out an invoice to either the student (at their home address) and/or their sponsor. The invoice will show the total fees due.

If we do not have written confirmation of a third party agreeing to pay part or all of the fees, within 7 days of enrolment, we will invoice the student for the full amount.

We prefer payments to be made by direct debit, electronic transfer, bankers draft or cheque payable to the College as this is efficient for us and convenient for the student or sponsor. Please ask the sending bank to quote the student number, family name and date of birth of the student when making the transfer.

The College regulations regarding payment of fees are strictly enforced. Continued student membership is dependent upon satisfactory receipt of tuition fees and we reserve the right to refuse re-admission to any student with outstanding debts from previous years.

Before the College can send student an unconditional offer, the college must receive important documents from the sponsor. Original documents from sponsor are required to prove that student will be financially solvent when he/she is in the UK.
