N.B. If you are enrolling on to more than one course at the same time (with the exception of Saturday courses) the collective cost of all courses, after concessions, will determine whether instalments are payable.

Please note that you are liable for the full course fee regardless of when you leave the course and irrespective of your payment method. It is important that you make the payment(s) by the date(s) stated to secure your place on the course and for you and fellow students to benefit from this facility.

If you have difficulty paying larger amounts in one payment, please contact our Customer Service team on (01733) 761361 or email: admin@citycollegepeterborough.ac.uk

For some courses that result in a qualification, there may be an exam entry fee to pay. Please check at the time of enrolment. On some practical courses, there may be a small charge for materials. You will be advised of this at enrolment.

A fee reduction may apply for learners who are:

1. Over 60 years of age and unwaged (non-qualification courses only)
2. Receiving Jobseeker’s allowance (including the partner where the claim is joint)
3. Receiving Employment Support Allowance (ESA) in the Work-Related Activity Group
4. Receiving Universal Credit (unemployed) and mandated (required) to undertake skills training
5. Receiving Pension Tax Credit (non-qualification courses only)
   
6. Aged 19-23 and do not currently hold a Level 2 and studying for a qualification funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency.

Refunds will only be given on the following grounds:

1. The course is cancelled by the Service
   
2. The learner cancels their place not less than 14 days before the start date. The Policy does not apply to short courses of fewer than 2 sessions e.g. Saturday courses, where no refund will be given.
   
3. The learner withdraws from a course due to illness and can produce a doctor’s certificate.
