What is enrolment?

Enrolment will confirm your place on a course, the level of course you should take, any fees you might be asked to pay and start date for your course, along with any other information you need to know. This is also where you will receive your learner agreement and student ID card. To complete your enrolment promptly, please remember to bring:

• A copy of your enrolment invitation either on your phone or printed
• A pen
• Payment method to pay for any fees due (if applicable)
• All documentation requested to complete your enrolment. Please visit our Enrolment Checklist page for general information on what documentation to bring.

You might also be asked to bring:

• NARIC conversions if your qualifications were not obtained in the UK (we can help you with this if you do not have the conversion information)
• DBS or employer information if you are over 18 and applying for a course where this would be required, such as Healthcare, Teaching or Childcare
• Any statement of Educational Needs or Education Health and Care Plan if applicable to you.

Places are limited and subject to availability and meeting eligibility requirements.
