You will be 19 years old or over on 31st August 2012If you are on means-tested benefits, Government Policy at the moment is that you will be entitled to concessionary fees in 2012/13 as long as you can declare that the course you have chosen will give you appropriate skills to help you enter employment and that you are looking for work.

Students who sign a Self Declaration Form to that effect, backed up by appropriate proof, do not pay any course fees. This currently applies to adults in receipt of the following benefits:

•   Income support•   Working Tax Credit (note: dependents only)•   Pension Guarantee Credit•   ESA (not WRAG)•   Council Tax Benefit•   Housing Benefit

You will still have to pay any applicable supplementary fees. Note that this entitlement is still subject to change in Government Policy. If you are on Jobseeker’s Allowance or Employment Support Allowance (WRAG) then you are entitled to concessionary fees, and will not be charged Tuition, Examination, or College Registration fees, but you will still have to pay any applicable Supplementary Fees. This is also the case if you are a registered asylum-seeker supported by NASS payments. You will also only have to pay applicable Supplementary Fees for a course where you and that specific course meet one of the following criteria:

•   The course you are doing is an Adult Basic Skills Literacy or Numeracy course.

•   Your course is an Entry Level or Level 1 vocational course to give you skills you need to progress on to your first Full Level 2 qualification later.

•   You are under 24 years old and the course will get you your first Full Level 2 qualification.

•   You are under 24 years old and the course will get you your first Full Level 3 qualification – note that this also applies to Full Level 4 qualifications. 

If any of the above criteria do not apply to you, then you will be expected to pay full fees. These are as follows:

Tuition Fees•   Courses up to Full Level 3 – Where a course is for full-time

students the tuition fee will be £1,500.00.
