WELCOME

NPTC Group was created as a result of a merger between two highly successful and well-established colleges (Neath Port Talbot College and Coleg Powys).

The new College boasts twelve campuses covering 30 per cent of the country’s landmass and reaching 270,000 residents from south to north Wales. We now provide one of the widest ranges of subject choices for learners in Wales with courses that appeal to all ages and interests.

It is estimated that 70 per cent of the working population that will be required for employment in 2020 are already in work! Therefore, up-skilling your existing skills, knowledge and understanding are the best way to securing better employment or enhancing your existing employment. It is your chance to make sure that the choices you make are right for your future.

You may want to study a language for your next holiday abroad or need to brush up on your Maths and Science, particularly as your children’s homework is increasing!

Finally, I wish you every success in your studies, whether for enjoyment or employment, or both. See you in September.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Course Fees

All fees must be paid at the time of enrolment. They will include an administration fee of £50 that every student enrolling for a course MUST pay in order to be registered as an NPTC Group student. On payment of the course fee, students will be issued with an identity card, entitling you to be on College premises and enabling you to use the Learning Resource Centres and refectories.

Third Party Payments

Where students nominate a third party to pay for the course, supporting evidence, e.g. Employer’s Certificate or formal letter, must be brought to the College at the time of enrolment. Failure to do this will result in the student being liable for the full fees themselves.

Instalments

An instalment plan is available to any student paying the full fee of £100. One-third of the payment is payable at enrolment. An administration charge for this service of £30 payable with the first instalment. Students will then be invoiced for the remaining two-thirds. After more than four weeks of the start date of the course, all fees are due and must be paid on receipt of invoice.

Direct Debits

A Direct Debit plan is available to any student paying the full fee. An administration charge for this service of £30 will be added to this cost. Please contact the finance department at the Neath Campus for further information.

Examination & Registration Fees

Students are responsible for paying registration, examinations and NVQ assessment entry fees where appropriate.

Refund of Fees

If the College cancels a class or moves a group to a different day, time or venue and this is unacceptable to the student, the course fees along with any other fees paid will be refunded. Should a student wish to withdraw from a course within the first four weeks of the start date, the course fee would be refunded and an administration fee of £50 will be deducted from any refund due. After more than four weeks of the start date of the course, no refunds will be given.

Students in receipt of reduced course fees would not be entitled to a refund of course fees. Any examination/registration fees not already paid to the awarding bodies would be refunded. For further information, please contact:

Neath Campus: 01639 648000

Higher Education Fees

Higher Education course fees are shown per academic year. The fees are dependent on the number of credits you study. Students may choose to study more credits than what is expected. If this is the case, the fee will reflect the number of credits you actually study. The College does not give reduced fees for HE courses but Higher Education students can usually access financial support for part-time HE courses in the form of a fee loan and/or course grant. More information can be found on this and the other financial support available through the Student Finance Wales website:

www.studentfinancewales.co.uk/part-time-students.aspx.

Non-payment of Fees

If fees are not paid, the College will take steps to recover the outstanding amount, which may lead to debt recovery action. In the event of the third party, e.g. an employer, failing to pay, the student will become liable for the full cost of the course.

Financial Support

There’s a variety of grants available to help you pay for your tuition fees, course costs and your living costs while studying part-time at College. The criteria for eligibility is dependent on individual circumstances, therefore any student who wishes further information should, in the first instance, contact:

Student Services on 01639 648404

or e-mail: studentservices@nptcgroup.ac.uk.

ESF Supported Programmes

As a result of ESF funding, selected courses at the College may be offered free. You will be advised at enrolment if the course you are joining falls into this category. ESF-supported programmes may also enable students to receive additional funding for transport costs, childcare and other related costs.

For more information on the different distance learning course

These classes offer opportunities for adults with additional learning needs to develop their basic skills to support everyday living. Students do not need any formal qualifications but do need a desire to participate in all learning activities.

Programmes are designed to meet the individual needs of students and are delivered by qualified, experienced staff that have specialist skills to deliver these courses. Learners will need to be able to make their own travel arrangements to attend these courses and there will be a cost attached to the activities in the community and any cooking sessions. Enrolment fees will apply. Our ethos is to offer equal opportunities to all students regardless of any disability they may have and aims to gain the ultimate level of success for students in order to enhance the quality of their future lives.

We can run courses across all our campuses in Neath Port Talbot and Powys. These courses will be planned as needs are identified - if you wish to set up a class in your area please do not hesitate to contact us.

Work-based NVQ’s allow employers to recognise their employees' existing abilities and enable them to develop new skills through ‘competence-based’ qualifications. You will learn practical, work-related tasks designed to develop the skills and knowledge to do a job effectively. Therefore, taking an NVQ could be appropriate if you already have skills and want to improve them, as well as if you are starting from scratch.
