niKKie hOrSeyGOinG FuLL CirCLe, FrOm Student tO teaCherWaiting for a meeting in my daughter’s school I picked up a New College brochure. Flicking through it, I found a Counselling course, something that I had often thought about looking into but having been a stay-at-home Mum whilst my children were younger, didn’t feel I had the time to pursue. Now with my children older, the time seemed right to realise my dream of retraining in a career, not only that I was interested in, but would also fit in around my family. I applied to New College for the introduction course, with high hopes that I had the qualities needed to progress and that it would be the right path to take. From there my journey started. I was inspired to retrain as a counsellor and completed my CPCAB Levels 1-4, obtaining my Diploma in Counselling. Finally I had achieved my dream of helping others, getting back into the workplace with a job that is truly fulfilling.

You will need to provide this information within 7 days of making this application by contacting the Customer Services Manager at New College by phone on 01793 732801 for a confidential discussion. Please note that some courses e.g. Care, Childcare or Health Studies require you to undergo a DBS disclosure. This will include both spent and unspent convictions as well as cautions, reprimands and final warnings.

cHanges to tHe programmeWe aim to run all the courses in this brochure but we reserve the right to close or change them.If a course recruits low numbers, we may reduce the contact time in class to enable the subject to run but without offering a reduction in fees. If enrolments are insufficient or for other reasons, we may be unable to run a course, we will give a full refund and as much notice as possible. Once a course has started you are asked to attend classes regularly. The College reserves the right to close an existing course at any time if the number of students attending falls below the minimum required. In these circumstances we will give you a partial refund. In the case of tutor sickness/absence the College will make every effort to offer a replacement as quickly as possible.

additional support needsIf you consider that you have additional learning support needs then the College will endeavour to make reasonable adjustments in order to support your learning. The College will consider its duty under the Equalities Act 2010 to make any reasonable adjustments requested.

cancellations and refundsIf you withdraw from a course lasting less than 15 weeks you will not be entitled to a refund other than in exceptional circumstances. For any courses lasting more than 15 weeks but less than 24 which you withdraw from within the first 2 weeks of the start date of the course, the College will give a partial refund of 50% of the full tuition fee. If you withdraw at or after 2 weeks no refund will be given. For courses lasting 24 weeks or more which you withdraw from within the first 6 weeks of the start date of the course the College will give you a partial refund of 50% of the full tuition fee. If you withdraw at 6 weeks or any time after 6 weeks no refund will be given. If you enrol on a course and wish to cancel before the start date of the course, refunds will be considered on a discretionary basis, depending on whether your place can be sold to another person. This refund policy applies to all students regardless of the method of payment. You will receive a partial refund or credit note if exceptional circumstances prevent you continuing with a course (i.e. serious illness or death including that of a close family member). Refunds will not be made for matters of inclement weather, minor illness, change in accommodation, domestic changes or work commitments. Exam fees are not refundable if you choose not to enter the exam. A minimum number of students are needed for each course to run. Where this is not achieved we will contact you to advise that the course will have to be cancelled. We try to give at least a week’s notice; however we try to leave the course open as long as possible to ensure it runs. If New College need to cancel your course then a full refund will be given.
