A confirmation receipt will be sent to you.

EMPLOYERS TO PAY

Students MUST PROVIDE A LETTER FROM THEIR EMPLOYER, OR SPONSOR, stating that the employer/sponsor will pay the fees. The College reserves the right not to enrol a student if such evidence is not provided. Should the student leave the course before the employer makes payment, the employer will still be liable for payment of fees.

FEE INFORMATION 

Fees are quoted the year 2008-2009 unless specifically stated.

Students enrolling on a course that lasts longer than one year will then be charged a subsequent fee for the College year 2008/2009.

There may be additional examination, registration or certification fees as indicated. In such cases, students are responsible for their own exam entries and fees and should make their entries through the Examination Office. All students must undertak examinations/assessments in order for the College to claim government funding. If you choose not to register and undertake your course's assessments, you will be charged a substantial amount to compensate for the College's loss of funding.

You may be eligible for fee remission on all courses except on thos marked NO FEE REMISSION.

INSTALMENTS
Courses over £150 can be paid in installments. There will be a £5 admin fee for this facility. The course fee is divided into four payments: the first payment is due when enrolling, along with three post-dated cheques for the remainder of the fee.

PROGRAMME INFORMATION

The information about courses, fees (which are VAT exempt) are correct at time of going to press. Shipley College reserves the right to make any changes to the programme that prove necessary and does not take any responsibility for damages claimed to be the result of misinformation.

COPING WITH DEMAND FOR COURSES

If a course has become full as a result of the postal and telephone enrolment, the College may be able to arrange a duplicate class. Our enrolment staff will take your details and advise you of any additional courses.

CLOSURE DUE TO BAD WEATHER

If a class is cancelled for reasons beyond the College's control such as bad weather, the College will attempt to give as much warning as possible. While every attempt will be made to replace the missing class, we regret that the College cannot guarantee to do so and where it proves impossible the College will not be able to make a refund. Please listen to local radio for announcements of closure during bad weather.
