Fees, enrolment & refunds
A student is accepted for enrolment on and subject to the conditions that the student will attend the CPBA on the commencement date and at the time specified in the confirmation email which will be sent to the student upon receipt of the completed application form together with full payment.
In the event of a student failing to attend the confirmed course or complete the course for any reason other than in the unlikely event that the course is cancelled by CPBA, no refunds or deposits of fees fully paid will be made. Entitlement to a later date course will be gained at the discretion of CPBA course directors.
Fees are non-refundable but will be credited against the course fee.
The balance of the full course fee should be paid to CPBA on the agreed date set out in writing. Failure to comply with agreed payments may result in loss of secured course place and all prior payments are non-refundable.
All fees quoted attract and are including VAT (UK GOVERNMENT TAX) at the current rate of 20%. All fees must be received by CPBA without deduction; therefore, any overseas/UK bank charges will automatically be added to the final balance payable. Educational courses are not exempt from VAT nor can VAT be claimed back by overseas students.
Fees are not refundable if the course is interrupted or cancelled through an act of God or terrorist act.
Students will not be accepted on the commencement date unless full payment of fees has been made.
Course fees, deposits and other payments are non-transferable.
Hours, attendance & achievement
Classes will commence promptly at the published times irrespective of whether all students are present. Classes will not be delayed waiting for latecomers, and teachers are not responsible for repeating work missed. Latecomers may be requested to wait until a suitable break in teaching before entering a class. Class hours can be varied at the discretion of the CPBA’s Head of Academy without prior notice.
Paying for and/or attending a course fully does not guarantee a qualification, diploma or certificate of achievement. Awards of achievement are gained by the successful fulfilment of the criteria set out by the various awarding bodies. The decision of the Head of Academy is final in all cases.
Time off for official religious holidays, booked holidays, planned weddings, medical appointments etc. must be discussed and agreed before application. We recommend that all absence be avoided where possible.
General
It is not the responsibility of CPBA or individual teachers to provide additional teaching hours for students to ‘catch up’ on education missed due to lateness or absenteeism for whatever reason. However, CPBA will provide support where mitigating circumstances apply.
All course contents, their elements and fees are subject to change without any prior notice to students at the discretion of CPBA.
Students failing to complete their assessments, including after provision of additional assistance, during the term of their course will be charged by the hour for any further teaching/supervision/assessing. These sessions will be at the convenience of CPBA. Check with the Administration department for the current rates.
Disciplinary
If any student behaves improperly on CPBA’s premises including any form of cheating during an assessment/exam, damages or removes any equipment belonging to the CPBA they will be asked to leave immediately.
Course Fees
Please refer to Price List on the main page.
To assist our students with financing the course, once the deposit charge has been accepted, we are happy to divide the course fees into equal instalments. All outstanding fees must be settled prior to study.
Payment for the either course can be made via bank transfer or cash payment of your choice. Once you have decided to study with CPBA please contact us regarding your preferred dates of study and payment method; a member of the administrative team will advise you on how to proceed.
You could be eligible for government funding subjected to your status. Please contact the Academy to find out more.
