Course Fees All courses are heavily subsidised by the government. The fees that learners are charged are therefore only a proportion of the true cost of delivering the qualification. The course fees breakdown into the following: Breakdown of Fee S Fee X Fee Overseas Fee Notes Tuition Fees 550.00 No fee 3714.00 Learner resources for use in class Included No fee Included Exam Fee 75.00 No fee 75.00 Resources are included in the tuition fees. Exam Fees are included for fully funded (X Fee) learners only. Total: 625.00 No fee 3789.00 See appendix A for Eligibility for X Fee and reduced fees or check the course directory. Information for financing your ITEC training As a learner on a CALAT course you need to be aware that you are signing a contract with CALAT and that you are liable for whichever rate of course fee applies to you. CALAT has a system set up so that you can pay your fee by Standing Order provided the fees are 120.00 or more, choosing this payment option will incur an admin charge of 10.00. Page 4 25/07/2014

Payment for courses using Standing Order facility 35% of your course fee has to be paid at enrolment. (Proof of address will be required.) Standing Order is then set up monthly following the date of your enrolment (not from the start of the course). Payments will be calculated so that all costs are recovered before the final session of the course. Example: if you enrol on the course the month before the course starts e.g. in August, your first standing order would be taken in September 2014 and would run through to June 2015 (course ends July 2015). Any learner defaulting on payment will be sent an invoice for the total course fee, from Croydon Council, and the full amount will become due and payable immediately. If payment is not made Croydon Council may take legal action to recover the debt. It is also likely that if you fail to make payments you will be excluded from your class until payment is made to bring you up to date. Withdrawal from courses o If you withdraw from the course for any reason other than with a medical certificate you will still be liable for the full course fee you owe to CALAT. o If you are withdrawn because your attendance does not meet the 80% requirement (see learner code of conduct) or your punctuality is an issue, or if you fail to keep up with coursework you will still be liable for the full course fee you owe to CALAT. o If you are in receipt of GDLS Fund support for help with tuition and exam fees, when you drop out of a course or are withdrawn because your attendance does not meet the 80% requirement (as above) you will have to repay to the GDLS Funds the amount of the financial support that has been given. All learners should be aware that where they are in receipt of subsidised course fees i.e. No Fee they are receiving public funds to support their learning. GDLS fund is also funded through public funds and if a learner fails to complete the training they will have to repay funds as detailed above. Page 5 25/07/2014

The course has enabled me to gain the skills I need to complete treatments to a high standard. The teaching has been excellent throughout the course with a tutor who has been happy to help. I feel the course has also helped me with my confidence. I would recommend the beauty courses at CALAT to anyone wanting to pursue a career in beauty. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time studying at the CALAT Thornton Heath Centre, whilst on the ITEC Beauty Therapy course. I not only gained knowledge and experience in my chosen career, but invaluable support from my tutor, with her years of experience and her passion she inspired me to succeed and progress within the beauty industry. I am currently on the ITEC Level 2 Beauty Therapy course and have really enjoyed every minute of it. The tutor is an excellent teacher and does her job very well!! There is a lot of work involved so to anyone considering the course I would say make sure your able to be 100% committed to it as you need to put a lot of time and effort into the course as there can be quite a bit of extra work to do at home. All the staff at CALAT are lovely and are always very helpful when enrolling and finding out about courses. On the next page you will find the dates and times of the Information & Interview sessions.
