Can I get help with my fees?

Fee remission For some courses you may be entitled to pay a reduced fee. The remitted fee for the majority of courses is £15. Courses with a higher remission fee are marked with u in this brochure.

Fee remission is available to learners on the following active benefits: • Job Seekers Allowance (JSA). • Employment Support Allowance (ESA) Work

Related Activity Group (WRAG) element only. • Learners on other benefits may qualify for

reduction or remission of fees through the service’s Financial Assistance Fund. Please enquire when enrolling.

Courses marked with * are not eligible for fee remission, however learners may apply to the Financial Assistance Fund for help with the cost of their course fee, please see details at the top of the next column.

Refund policy Refunds can be requested up to 10 working days before the start date of the course.

More information about all Lancashire Adult Learning policies can be found in the About Us section of our website www.lancashire.gov.uk/adultlearning

Financial Assistance Fund Any learner who is finding it difficult to pay their course fees is entitled to apply for help from the Lancashire Adult Learning Financial Assistance Fund. For more information on the Financial Assistance Fund, please contact 0300 123 6711.

Time Credits You can also pay for courses using Lancashire Time Credits. Time Credits are a way of enabling local people to make a difference in their communities and to local public services.

If a person gives one hour of time to a participating community organisation, they earn one time credit. That credit can then be spent on a range of activities in the local area, for example on a course, a museum visit, a physiotherapy session or a show at the local theatre.

Time credits are similar in design to bank notes but have no monetary value. Anyone can earn them, and everyone’s time is always worth the same: an hour equals an hour. They can be spent on a variety of courses across Lancashire. Please note an additional charge will be applied for courses which carry an exam fee or material costs.

To find out more visit www.chorley.gov.uk and search for ‘time credits’.
