Will I have to pay fees?
School Leavers under the age of 19 do not have to pay fees on any full time courses, though may have to pay for their second year if turning 19 during their studies.
If you’re aged 19 or over you might qualify for an Advanced Learner Loan. It’s easy to apply for and you won’t have to pay anything back until you’re earning over £25,725 a year. Find more information on Advanced Learner Loans on our website.
If you are studying a part-time course and you receive one of the following benefits, or you depend financially on someone who does, you may be entitled to have your tuition fees waived:
- Job Seeker's Allowance
- Income Support
You will, however, have to pay any awarding body/assessment fees (unless you are on a first full level 2 course).
* If you are in receipt of Working Tax Credit or receive other allowances, you may be eligible to claim concessionary rates. If you are entitled to a fee concession you will be asked to provide proof of your entitlement.
It is essential that you inform us if your entitlement changes at any time during your course.
For any questions about fees, remissions and entitlements, please contact our helpful Enrolments Team on 01329 815 200.

Course Information
You will be taught at our state-of-the-art CEMAST campus and have access to
facilities such as a design suite, CAD/CAM, 3D Printing and Manufacturing
workshop. This is an opportunity to really develop your practical skills
alongside the analytical skills and knowledge required for Higher Education.
CEMAST has been developed alongside employers and there will be the
opportunity to work on projects with industry representatives or with your own
employer, to ensure that the skills you develop make you the most employable.
You will be taught through practical demonstrations, workshop demonstrations,
presentations and lectures. The course is primarily for people who are
currently working in a related field who wish to gain a qualification in
recognition of their skills and knowledge or who would like to build on existing
expertise. It is anticipated that a portion of the course will be linked to
work-based learning or to workplace simulations.
This course is ideal for people wanting to progress their careers into
management or gain professional recognition, by progressing to Incorporated
Engineer Status. You must have the ability to self-motivate and a willingness to
learn new skills and techniques.
You must achieve a minimum of 120 credits to gain this qualification. 50
credits are achieved by completing the following mandatory core units:
• Analytical methods for engineers • Engineering
science • Project design, implementation and evaluation.
The remaining credits are achieved through the completion of specialist units
which may include:
• Aerodynamic principles and aircraft design • Aircraft
propulsion technology • Aircraft structural integrity •
Integrated flight instrument systems.
