Learner Support Fund
We receive an allocation from the Skills Funding Agency to assist learners who wish to attend courses that will lead to a qualification or improve their chances of employment.
The purpose of the Learner Support Fund is to provide financial help to learners whose access to, or completion of, education might be inhibited by financial considerations. These funds can assist learners with certain costs attached to their course. Further information and application forms are available from centre offices or by contacting Community Education Lewisham - details below.
Pay by instalments
Fees for courses of 20 weeks or more can be paid by termly instalments.
The first instalment is to be paid when you enrol and will be for the first term’s tuition fee plus any other fees such as examination fee where applicable.
Subsequent instalments need to be paid before the start of each term as necessary. Full details, including instalment dates, will be given when we process the initial enrolment.
