Fees and How to Pay

The course fee in the brochure is the amount payable at enrolment. Additional costs apply for some courses which will cover materials or examination fees. For more information about additional costs, please see individual course pages or speak to an advisor before enrolment.

You can pay your course fees by cash, cheque, debit or credit card. All cheques are to be made payable to Worcester College of Technology. If your employer is paying for your fees, please bring a letter from your employer confirming the arrangement.

Instalment Option

Where your course fee exceeds £75, you may be able to spread the costs over a number of payment instalments. However, an initial payment will be needed to secure your enrolment on the course. Again, please speak to an advisor for more details. An instalment administration fee of £5 will be charged for this facility.

Studying Whilst Claiming Benefits

A number of our courses offer discounts for those unemployed on active benefits. If you are claiming discounted fees, you must enrol in person and bring evidence of your eligibility. Administration fees do not apply to students claiming benefits.

Course Prices

All course prices in this brochure include a £20 administration fee. If you enrol on more than one course during the academic year, a £20 deduction will be applied.

Course prices are subject to change due to amendments to the course funding criteria set by Government funding bodies. You will be told the most recent course price during enrolment, but please be aware that any price amendments are out of our control.

Where the duration of the course exceeds one year only the first year of fees is shown.

Refunds

Refunds of course and tuition fees will only be given in the following circumstances:

• When the College cancels a course
• When the learner withdraws from a course before the first meeting date (although an administration fee will be charged)

All other requests for fee refunds will be at the discretion of the Principal and can only be considered in exceptional circumstances

We reserve the right to cancel any course that does not meet minimum student numbers.
