niCki pringle

Nicki found that taking the Ceramics course has helped build her confidence as she has to live with the use of only one of her arms. yet with the help of her tutors, nicki has been able to learn new techniques and produce some beautiful pieces of work.

“i have enjoyed the course so far as we are in for a full day on monday so you are able to take your time, concentrate and really focus on your work rather than having to rush. my tutors are really good. if you’ve got problems or are struggling with something they always help you deal with it. they create a comfortable and calming place to learn and work.”

At a very low point in her life, while trying to overcome a serious assault, tracy could no longer carry on her job due to her injuries. she came to the College to work out her options.

“i was so nervous as i’m dyslexic, did not have any gCses, and had been out of education for a long time but the careers team were brilliant. Bit by bit i built up my skills and experience from studying counselling theory to therapeutic and psychotherapeutic diplomas.

“i now own my own counselling service and manage volunteers supporting substance misusers. i am a creative clinical supervisor and council and use hypnotherapy with clients across the world on skype. i also teach at the College who have been like a family to me ever since i walked in the door.”

ABout our esol Courses:

Our ESOL Courses are from Entry Level 1 (Beginners) to Level 2 (about GCSE level) and all teach the four skills of Speaking, Listening, reading and Writing.

most students will take an exam (eSoL or Functional Skills english), and your teacher will advise you on this. We also have classes that are for ESOL students who need extra help with their reading and writing. Some courses also include studying towards a maths qualification as well as ESOL. Many classes also include time in an IT room.

courses include citizenship themes and develop employability and work skills, as well as offering one to one tutorial support.

After studying the CeltA course at the College’s Centre for lifelong learning in Finsbury park he achieved his ambition of going to Brazil to teach english. he said:

“Without a doubt teaching english in Brazil was the best six months of my life and i have so many stories to tell. i could not have done this without the course at the College and now i am back in london i am keen to teach students privately and continue to build up my teaching experience.”

The government offers funding for adult courses based on your age, the course you choose and your employment status. The criteria for funding can be quite complicated but we’re here to help and will be able to assess your eligibility at enrolment.

In this guide you will notice varying prices for each course where concessions are available labelled as co-funded and unfunded (see Fig. 1). These relate to the fee that UK/EU students will need to pay depending on whether they are eligible to receive funding or not. If you are eligible for full funding your course may be free.

Fees explAinedtypes oF Funding

Fully-funded: Tuition, exam fees and essential materials and resources are funded by the government.

Co-funded: Students are required to pay a contribution towards the cost of their learning, with tuition, exam fees and materials partially funded by the government.

unfunded: If students do not meet the criteria for funding they are required to pay the full fee however payment plans and Advanced Learning Loans are available on some courses (see 24+ Advanced Learning Loans on the opposite page).
