Fees, Deposits & Refunds
- Fees are communicated in offers and programme pages; third‑party fees (e.g., exams, courier) may be separate.
- Deposits secure a place where required; non‑payment may delay enrolment or assessment access.
- Refunds/withdrawals follow the current policy and any partner conditions.
Admissions Decisions & Appeals
- Applicants receive a clear decision with reasons and, where relevant, conditions to be met.
- Informal queries should be raised promptly with Admissions.
- Formal appeals may be made on grounds of procedural error, bias/unfair treatment, or new extenuating evidence.
Data Protection & Retention
- Application data is processed under our Privacy Policy and retained per statutory/awarding‑body requirements.
- Sensitive data is handled with additional safeguards and access controls.
Accessibility & Reasonable Adjustments
We welcome applications from learners with disabilities or additional needs. Reasonable adjustments are considered on a case‑by‑case basis in line with awarding‑body rules and assessment integrity.
