In person

Information, advice and guidance sessions will be held at Horton House. If you wish to speak to a member of the curriculum team regarding any course detailed in the guide then you are advised to come along to one of these sessions:-

Payment for Courses

For course fees over £20, DO NOT send any payment with your enrolment form – if the course is viable then you will be invoiced by Calderdale MBC. Please note – once invoiced you may pay your invoice at any Council cash office or by phoning the Council on the telephone number detailed on the invoice. Invoices cannot be paid at Horton House.

For course fees under £20, please either attach your cheque to the enrolment form or complete the credit/debit card details on the enrolment form.

Fee Remissions

Calderdale Adult Learning Service has a fee remission policy whereby some fees may be reduced for those in receipt of certain benefits. Please see enrolment form for the full list of benefits.

For those learners who are on a 100% remitted fee – there is a one–off administrative fee payable of £5 for the academic year 2008/2009.

Please note that documentary evidence must be provided to claim a reduced fee; for most benefits and allowances suitable evidence is a letter or payment book from the relevant agency. Students must provide their student card or a letter from their school / college / university. Over 60s should bring their pension book, pink card or birth certificate. Wherever possible, please send a copy of your documentary evidence with your enrolment form (DO NOT SEND ORIGINALS). If this is not possible then you MUST bring it to the first class meeting.

Note – reduced fees do not apply to courses listed 'NR' in the fees column of the course listings.

Closure of courses and fee refunds

All courses in the guide are advertised on the understanding that they will operate only if they achieve viable learner numbers. Fees will be refunded automatically for courses closed by Calderdale Adult Learning, for example, due to insufficient learner numbers. Learners who choose to withdraw from a course will not normally be entitled to a refund unless there are exceptional circumstances. In this case you must apply in writing, within one calendar month, to the Head of Adult Learning at Horton House setting out the detailed circumstances. An administrative charge of £7.50 will be made, together with a deduction of any class meetings to date, whether you have attended or not.

Have I been accepted?

You will receive confirmation either by post or via email that you have been accepted onto the course. If your chosen course is full, we will offer you an alternative, wherever possible.

Accuracy Statement

Whilst every attempt has been made to ensure that all the details in this guide are accurate, the Adult Learning Service cannot accept responsibility for any errors or omissions.

Accreditation Fees

Some courses will attract a fee for accreditation (examinations). Please note that there are no remissions on this fee.
