Fee Paying Courses Most of our courses are free. We are required to charge some learners a fee for our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses and our Accredited Employability courses. This fee contributes towards the running of these courses. All our other courses are free. Do I need to pay for my ESOL/Accredited Employability Course? To claim a free course, you must show your tutor a letter proving that you are on one of the following benefits. The letter must be dated within the last three months. — Job Seekers Allowance — Employment Support Allowance (in the Work Related Activity Group) — Universal Credit — Council Tax Benefit (not including the 25% single occupancy discount) — Housing Benefit — Income Support — Working Tax Credit — Asylum Seeker Allowance You can also claim a free course if you are the unwaged partner of someone receiving any of the above. If you are not on any of these benefits, you will need to pay £60 for a 10-week course (20 hours) and £90 for a 15-week course (30 hours). You must pay this by the second lesson. Terms and conditions of fee paying courses 1. Learners must be eligible to attend a course. 2. Learners must show the tutor either proof of eligibility for a free course or a payment receipt for the course by the second session. Failure to do so will mean exclusion from the class from week three onwards. 3. Refunds will be made if we cancel the course (pro rata if cancelled after any sessions have taken place). Pro-rata refunds will also apply if a session is rescheduled and the learner can’t attend on the later date. Any other refunds will only be made in exceptional circumstances. 4. Learners who are not citizens of a country within the EEA or have not been resident in the EEA during the previous three years, or do not have Right of Abode, can still access a course at a cost of £120 /£180 (ESOL/accredited employability courses only).
