16-18 year-old students

If you are 16-18 years old, you do not have to pay for your course. However, you may require a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check (largely for courses where work placements are necessary). You will be advised if you need this and advised on what documents/identification you will need to bring with you to process your application when you start your course.

For some courses, you will need to wear a uniform, similar to those that you'd wear in the workplace. For other subjects, you may need personal protection equipment (PPE).

All students will need a well-stocked pencil case and stationery. 

Full details of what you will need for the start of term will be confirmed during your enrolment or induction. Bursaries to help pay for equipment may be available to you depending on your personal circumstances. for more information, click here.

Adult & Higher Education students (19 years and above)

Some of our adult courses may require a fee. If you’re unable to cover the cost of this up front we offer a range of options to help you pay for your course depending on your circumstances.

Student ID badges will be issued either when you drop in to enrol on campus, or during your induction. 

We are required to take your photograph for your student ID badge when you enrol. This will be either when you drop in to enrol or during your induction, depending on whether you are a new or progressing student.

Full course timetables will be given out when you start your course. You will receive your start date when you come along to enrol.

All students will be given information when they enrol that will detail the course start date, where to report to on the first day and what to bring with them.  

You will need to go to the reception desk at the campus where you will be studying at 9am on your first day of return.

Please bear with us.  We receive a significant amount of financial support applications each year and are working through these as quickly as possible.  Please ensure you have submitted a fully completed application and necessary evidence.

If you are unable to attend any of the scheduled enrolment events, don't worry. We will be offering late enrolment events to accommodate those who cannot make it to the initial sessions.

You will be advised when you enrol if your course requires uniform or kit and how to order this.

You will be advised at enrolment if your course requires you to have a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check and what documents/identification you will need to bring with you when you start your course to process your application if this is needed.

A DBS check is largely for courses where work placements are necessary.

If you have an additional support need or a health related problem, please contact the inclusive learning team via learningsupport@educationpartnershipne.ac.uk.

If you want to change the course you have applied for, you can discuss this at your enrolment event.  If the course you wish to change to is at a different campus, please ensure you book an enrolment event at the correct campus.
