We have always prided ourselves at KCU in being able to provide free courses and free Crèche facilities. However the current difficult economic
climate is affecting us and many of our partners, which has made it necessary to review our policy on charging.
Our prime purpose is to continue to provide good quality educational courses to our students. To enable us to continue to do this we now have to implement the following charges which we have kept to a minimum.
All courses of 10 weeks or more will require a £10 deposit, which will be refunded at the end of the course provided 80% of the course has been attended. The reason for this is because certain providers require a minimum number of students to enable the course to take place and continue to its conclusion. Therefore this charge is to encourage people firstly, to ensure they have chosen the right courses and secondly, to improve the course retention rates.
Our Crèche operates to recognised standards and constantly receives positive feedback from parents and carers. KCU prides itself in the fact that it has been able to offer this facility for free for so many years, however, the Crèche in previous years has been heavily subsidised by KCU, from other areas of our organisation, which we have been happy to support as we recognise the benefits it brings to our students. Unfortunately we are no longer able to do this so will have to introduce a charge of £3 per session per child from September. This is still significantly lower than commercial Crèche places and is aimed only to cover some of our Crèche costs.
Due to government cutbacks that are affecting some of our partners there may be a requirement to pay course and exam fees in advance.
If you feel any of this would cause you hardship please talk to the KCU
