Exam / Qualification
Taking the Exam
All courses in our listings marked with a Q are accredited / examination courses.
Learners who enrol on a examination course MUST take the examination / accreditation with the College and not elsewhere.
If you enrol on an examination course and do not take the exam, you will be charged a rate of £8.00 per hour for the whole course.
You will be notified of the scheduled exam date for your subject as soon as the information is available. Further costs will be incurred if you fail to attend the scheduled date but still want to take the exam.
Interview
Some courses require a pre-enrolment interview. See course entries which will be marked with i and course outlines for details.
First Session Guidance
The College’s funding depends on students receiving guidance for these.Courses, marked with a G, the first class is a guidance session. You can enrol for these courses but your place will not be confirmed until you have attended this first session. This is to ensure that it is the right course for you. If, after discussion with the tutor at the first session, you decide that the course is not suitable, you will be able to obtain a full refund or transfer to a more suitable course (where places are available). After this first session the College’s normal transfer and refund policy will come into force.
Attendance & Withdrawal
All learners are encouraged to attend regularly for a minimum of 80% of their course. Any absences must be notified to the College on 020 8300 1056. Learners who are absent for four consecutive weeks without notification to the College, will automatically be withdrawn from the course. As the withdrawal of learners affects the funding the College receives, those learners who withdraw without good reason will be invoiced depending on their funding status, up to a maximum of £8.00 per course hour.
Exam Entries
Students are responsible for the accuracy of their own examination and accreditation entries.
