You will be advised when you enrol if your course requires uniform or kit and how to order this.

If your course requires you to have a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (largely for courses where work placements are necessary), then you will need to bring relevant ID with you when you start your course to ensure the DBS application process gets underway quickly.

If you have an additional support need or a health related problem, please contact the inclusive learning team via learningsupport@educationpartnershipne.ac.uk.

Learners who are employed, or self-employed, and would normally be co-funded for provision, up to and including Level 2, can be fully funded.
