If you are aged between 16 and 18, it is mandatory for you to have a legal guardian in the UK. It is the parent's responsibility for agreeing any necessary arrangements directly with the guardian. A guardian carries out the roles of the parents as delegated by them, such as consenting to a child's medical treatment in an emergency etc. (This does not mean guardian within the meaning of section 5 Children Act 1989).

On receipt of your application a Careers Advisor will assess your academic qualifications before your application is assessed by the Course Tutor.

If your application is successful you will be sent a provisional offer letter and a reply slip, together with the Financial Guarantee Form, which needs to be completed by a parent, guardian, sponsor or employer.

You must return the reply slip to the College, together with a deposit (amount to be confirmed by contacting our International Centre on +44 (0) 1934 411 411). This will ensure the final offer letter can be sent to you and will assist with your application for a student visa. The rest of the course fees are payable on enrolment.

Remember to apply as soon as possible to secure your place.
