The course has a 100% attendance requirement. However, If you are forced to miss up to 2 days due to exceptional circumstances we can accept that so long as you do your best to catch up.
On such an intensive course missing more than 2 days (out of 16 or out of 24 if you are including postgraduate) would put you below the AA required hours and would mean that you would not be able to graduate. The college cannot be held responsible for weather events, natural disasters or transport issues. In such circumstances it will be the students responsibility to work with the college to arrange for catch up hours. The cost for this will be the students responsibility (see below).
Sometimes we are able to facilitate “catch up” classes with another group but this is not automatic or guaranteed and it will incur a minimum fee of £150.
If a student is unable to continue on the course due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness the college will do our best to assist. In such circumstances it may be possible to defer and join another group. Changing course is potentially expensive and disruptive and it will incur a minimum £500 fee in all circumstances. Courses must be completed within 2 years of the original date the student started the course.
