Tuition Fees - This covers teaching, tutorials and assessment on the course.

A) If you are enrolled on a qualification course in the part time programme, of more than 10 week duration, you can pay in 3 instalments.

  • The first instalment must be paid on or before the enrolment evening on 3 September. The remaining two instalments are due by 24 September and 22 October.
  • Unfortunately if the fees are not paid in full by 22nd October you will be withdrawn from the course.

B) If you are enrolled on a course in the full time curriculum, you can pay your fees in three instalments:

  • The first instalment when you accept a place at Bexhill College.
  • The remaining two instalments will be due by 3 September 2012 and 5 October 2012.

Unfortunately if fees are not paid in full by 5 October 2012 you will be withdrawn from your course.

If you choose to pay by instalments, you make a commitment to follow the entire course, and may be liable for the full amount of fees and any exam costs etc that may have been paid on your behalf if you subsequently withdraw without making full payment. The fees quoted apply to "home" and "EU" students and may be subject to change.

If your employer is paying, please make this clear on the Learner?s Agreement showing contact name and address.

Am I entitled to help with fees?

Fee Remission – If you are in receipt of Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) or Employment Support Allowance (ESA) in the Work Related Activity Group you may be eligible for help with the tuition fees on some qualification courses.
Please note students claiming fee remission must enrol in person with proof of their eligibility. This should be the latest letter detailing your eligibility to JSA or the appropriate ESA.

Free Tuition
