TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Students aged 19 years or over
You will be charged fees at rates set annually. You will be required to pay a registration fee for each course you enrol onto, as well as any materials, equipment, exam entries or registration fees as applicable to the course.

Enrolment
Students will not be admitted to classes unless they have enrolled and paid the appropriate fee. A class may not run unless there is a minimum number of students, at the complete discretion of CCA.

Course fees
All course fees are payable at the time of enrolment. Special arrangements, such as instalment payments, may be possible on request, at the complete discretion of CCA.

Any outstanding course fees may be passed on to a third party debt recovery agency, where further charges may be applied.

Refunds
A refund of any course fees already paid is only available in the following circumstances:

  • If CCA/CF closes a class due to insufficient enrolments and is unable to offer a suitable alternative.

  • If you withdraw from a course due to ill health and a doctor has certified you too unwell to continue your studies. In this situation refund will take into account the amount of course already completed before the withdrawal.

Students under 18 on 31 August 2024
CCA/CF can share information on progress, attendance or any issues which might affect your education or wellbeing with your parents/guardians for the duration of the course.

Disclosure of Convictions
CCA/CF have a legal obligation known as “Duty of Care” to do everything reasonable to protect students, staff and visitors from potential harm. We therefore require students to declare if they:

  • are serving/have served a custodial sentence

  • are currently/have been on licence

  • have served or are serving any type of order (except pre-court orders such as reprimand or final warnings)

  • are currently on, or have been on an Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programme (ISSP)

  • have caution/s, warning/s or reprimand/s (CCA/CF does not need to know about convictions that are spent)

Information disclosed will not necessarily prevent you from studying the course of your choice. However, if you have a previous conviction(s) that you do not disclose and which is subsequently discovered, you may be refused a place or asked to leave the course. There may be occasions whereby a current/previous conviction may affect the outcome of your course but we will discuss this with you in full and offer alternatives where appropriate. If you would like to disclose information regarding criminal offences prior to enrolment, or during the course of your studies, please call the Safeguarding lead on 07955601516.

Learning Agreement
This learning agreement confirms your status as a student and indicates that you have received appropriate pre-entry guidance for the course. Please also refer to the Learner Handbook. CCA/CF aims to ensure that every student has the best possible chance of success.

The Code of Conduct also details what is expected from students. By accepting a place on a course, you are agreeing to comply with all aspects of the Code of Conduct and the terms and conditions of enrolment.

Disclaimer
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information published by the CCA/CF. However, CCA/CF reserves the right to cancel, combine or reschedule courses and make changes to the teaching hours provided on any course and to any facilities offered. If any circumstances which are unforeseen or beyond the control of CCA/CF interfere with its ability to provide services or facilities, CCA/CF undertakes to use reasonable endeavours to minimise resulting disruption, but cannot guarantee the provision of the services or facilities. CCA/CF will not be liable to any user of its services or facilities for any indirect or consequential loss which may be suffered by you as a result of any breach by CCA/CF of any obligations to the user or any other act or omission of CCA/CF or its employees. If CCA/CF is found liable to the user for any such breach, act or omission, the liability will be limited to a maximum of the tuition fee paid to CCA/CF on behalf of the user in respect of the academic year in which the breach, act or omission occurs. This limitation applies to any liability, including liability for negligence, except where negligence causes death or personal injury.
