PART-TIME COURSES 2015/16

WELCOME NPTC Group was created as a result of a merger between two highly successful and well-established colleges (Neath Port Talbot College and Coleg Powys). The new College boasts twelve campuses covering 30 per cent of the country s landmass and reaching 270,000 residents from south to north Wales. We now provide one of the widest ranges of subject choices for learners in Wales with courses that appeal to all ages and interests. It is estimated that 70 per cent of the working population that will be required for employment in 2020 are already in work! Therefore, up-skilling your existing skills, knowledge and understanding are the best way to securing better employment or enhancing your existing employment. It is your chance to make sure that the choices you make are right for your future. You may want to study a language for your next holiday abroad or need to brush up on your Maths and Science, particularly as your children s homework is increasing! Finally, I wish you every success in your studies, whether for enjoyment or employment, or both. See you in September.

Third Party Payments Where students nominate a third party to pay for the course, supporting evidence, e.g. Employer s Certificate or formal letter, must be brought to the College at the time of enrolment. Failure to do this will result in the student being liable for the full fees themselves. Instalments An instalment plan is available to any student paying the full fee of 100.

Higher Education Fees Higher Education course fees are shown per academic year. The fees are dependent on the number of credits you study. Students may choose to study more credits than what is expected. If this is the case, the fee will reflect the number of credits you actually study. The College does not give reduced fees for HE courses but Higher Education students can usually access financial support for part-time HE courses in the form of a fee loan and/or course grant. More information can be found on this and the other financial support available through the Student Finance Wales website: www.studentfinancewales.co.uk/part-time-students.aspx. Non-payment of Fees If fees are not paid, the College will take steps to recover the outstanding amount, which may lead to debt recovery action. In the event of the third party, e.g. an employer, failing to pay, the student will become liable for the full cost of the course. Financial Support There s a variety of grants available to help you pay for your tuition fees, course costs and your living costs while studying part-time at College.
