we endeavour to provide you with full information about the content of courses, any prerequisites for enrolment and our recommendations about the time required to complete each course.
In enrolling on your chosen course you are confirming that you have received enough information and are satisfied that the learning programme you have chosen is suitable for your needs and abilities.
Please note that our study programmes and materials are designed for adult learners. If you wish to enrol a student under 16 years of age, please contact one of our advisers to discuss this, and the extra support that may be required, before enrolling.
Our courses undergo regular redevelopment and updating. While we make every effort to ensure the information on our website is as up-to-date as possible, this may mean that the precise order in which material is presented in your course varies from the detailed outline given on our website or in our prospectus, although as a minimum the same material will still be covered. Course books may also vary occasionally according to availability and changes in syllabus requirements.

- individual tuition for three years from the date of enrolment.

extensions
We cannot support you after your three year study period unless there are exceptional circumstances. If you encounter difficulties that you believe may prevent you from completing your course within the three years, please contact a student adviser at the earliest opportunity to discuss the situation.

We expect students and their representatives to refrain from using language that can be reasonably thought of as offensive or abusive, including swearing, shouting, sexist or racist remarks and libellous or defamatory statements.
