If you tell us you have a disability, sensory impairment, learning difficulty or mental health issue when you enrol on a course you will then be sent a letter offering you the opportunity to provide us with more details.

with specific learning disabilities, mental health issues, physical and sensory impairments to join our GIL discussion group.

Course feesCourse fees vary depending on the type of course and the level of subsidy provided for it by the Government. The standard fee listed in the prospectus applies - unless you qualify for concessions or a fully funded free course. Please see information below. Examination and accreditation fees have been included in the course fee wherever possible and this is shown in the prospectus. Most fees include basic equipment but you may have to buy additional materials. Information about what - and when - to buy any additional materials is given on your course information sheet.
Free courses and concessions English and Maths qualificationsIf you do not have English and Maths GCSE (A*-C), you can enrol on a Maths or English course absolutely free. These include all courses from Entry 1 up to GCSE.
Young learnersThe higher standard course fee applies to all 16–18 years old wishing to enrol. If you have left school or college and are aged 16 to 18 on the 31st August 2014 you can enrol for free on courses with codes ending in L as part of a study programme. Within the study programme you will be required to study English and Maths if you have not achieved at least a C grade in either subject. Please call to arrange an interview to discuss your learning programme. Courses are not available for under 16 year olds except for certain Family Learning courses.
Unemployed learnersIf you are unemployed, receiving state benefits and need skills training to get into work, you can enrol on most accredited courses up to Level 2 for free with the agreement of your PA at the local Job Centre Plus.
Learners aged 24 years and older The government no longer subsidises level 3 or higher courses for those aged 24+. Instead you may be able to apply for a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan. Please see page 9 for more details.
Concessionary fees for learners aged 19+If the course code does not end in L, you may be entitled to a reduced fee if you are in receipt of one of the income based benefits listed below. Please call to check your eligibility and whether concessions are available on your chosen course.
• Job Seeker’s Allowance• ESA (WRAG) & (Support Group) • Income support benefit• Pension Credit Guarantee • Universal Credit • Working Tax Credit (a)• Disabled Persons Tax Credit (a)• Housing Benefit• Council Tax Benefit (not single occupancy
discount)• Carer’s allowance• Dependent of someone on the above
listed benefits(a) Household income of less than £17,500 (this may be subject to change during the year)
To qualify for a concessionary fee you must provide current evidence of your entitlement each time you enrol. The evidence should not be more than 6 months old.
EU Residency RequirementIf you have not been resident in the UK or EEA for at least 3 years before the start of your course you may need to pay a higher fee because the Government does not subsidise your learning. This will be double the tuition element of the majority of course fees. Please check your eligibility at KAE Centre receptions at the time of enrolling.
Learner Support FundIf you are on a low income and wish to enrol on an accredited course where concessions do not apply, you may be eligible for financial help with childcare and/or other course costs through the Learner Support Fund. When you enrol, please ask at KAE Centre receptions for details.

Paying Fees by InstalmentsIf your course costs more than £199 and it will be difficult for you to pay the whole amount when you enrol, please ask the team at KAE Centre Receptions who can arrange payment by Direct Debit. You will need to enrol in person and pay the first £100. The balance of your fees will then be collected in equal instalments over the length of your course.
Please note that if you do not complete the course you will still be liable to pay the full fee. KAE will take action for payment default through the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames Council.
Refund policyFees are non-refundable unless the course is cancelled by KAE or if you are unable to start or complete a course for medical reasons. A pro rata refund will be offered for the remainder of the course, less a £12 administration fee. If you are claiming a refund for health reasons you will need to produce a medical certificate.
A copy of our full refund policy is available on our website www.kingston.gov.uk/adulteducation under KAE useful documents and at the Centres.
If you wish to transfer from one course to another a £12 fee will apply.
