Important Course Fee Information

Understanding Your Course Fees

We are committed to making our Creativity for Wellbeing courses accessible to everyone in our community. While the full cost to run these 10-week courses is £75 (£85 for Stained Glass), the majority of our students qualify for a subsidised rate.

Why do I see £75 on my enrolment form?

Our system is required to display the full, unsubsidised cost of the course for advertising purposes. However, if you are eligible for a Tier 1, 2, or 3 rate, this price will be overridden. Our finance team manually adjusts your record after your first session to ensure you only pay the subsidised amount.
