WELCOME...‘AIMing higher through PRIDE in our work’Our vision and mission are summarised in the acronyms ‘AIM’ - Ambition, Innovation and Motivation and the way we approach our work through ‘PRIDE’ - Personal Responsibility In Delivering Excellence.

Welcome to Southend Adult Community College’s Part-Time Course Guide for the 2014/15 academic year.

At the heart of our work are the thousands of local residents and the many employers and community organisations who are supported by our dedicated team of tutors and staff in reaching their personal and career aspirations.

We work to support all our learners in learning new skills, taking up new interests, improving their employment prospects, building business capacity and enhancing our communities. The College exists to improve the life chances of the people living in Southend and South Essex.

For many of you, the new 24+ Advanced Learning Loans are a great opportunity to learn new skills or advance your career.

You can now study without the burden of upfront payments. Level 3 and 4 course fees will not be paid back until you’re earning over £21,000* and the loan is written off if you go on to complete a degree. You can now learn and pay when you earn.

If you would like to find out more about the wide range of Professional, Vocational and Personal Development leisure learning opportunities available at the College come along to one of our open events listed in this brochure – or give the college a call to find out more.

We have courses starting throughout the year and you can study part-time and during school hours to fit around your other commitments. Learners have access to a nursery at the Southchurch Centre, to help parents balance study and childcare.

I look forward to meeting you and very much hope that you will join us and allow us the opportunity to help you achieve your goals.

MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES AND COMMUNICATION SKILLSWhether learning for personal development, to support your children’s study or to enhance your employability at Southend Adult Community College we offer a variety of languages courses.

Fully qualified, highly skilled and supportive tutors will make your learning experience relaxed, enjoyable and rewarding. Cultural awareness and general knowledge of the countries where the language is spoken is embedded in all our courses.

Our languages programme is well structured around a framework of competencies designed to allow you to build up skills and fluency as you go up the progression ladder. It takes up to two terms to complete the competencies of each level. However; you don’t have to start at the beginning if your ability is higher. Please note: The topics of beginners and intermediate 1 may sound similar but the depth and grammar aspects of the language varies from one level to another.

If you are new to the college and unsure about what level is suitable, there is a self-assessment test on line @ www.southend-adult.ac.uk or you can ask for a copy at reception. All courses have an indicative information sheet that outlines entry requirements and what you will cover week by week.

Course description and level of ability Beginners - These courses are aimed at absolute beginners with no experience of the subject. You will learn to greet and introduce yourself, order food and drink, shop for a limited range of items, learn days of the week, numbers and tell the time. There will be a gradual introduction to reading and writing the language.

Improvers - These courses are for students who have completed a beginner’s course or for those who have some basic knowledge of the language. You will learn to say where you come from, what you do for a living, introduce family and friends, and become familiar with timetables and queries about opening hours. There will be a very brief revision of topics covered in the beginner’s course.

Beginners Fast Track - This is a fast track course aimed at absolute beginners. You will learn all the topics taught at Beginner’s and Improvers combined and progress to Intermediate 1, if you wish to continue your study at the college.

Intermediate 1 - This course is suitable if you know the basics or have studied the language in the past and need a refresh. You will take your basic language skills further by learning new topics and extend your knowledge on topics you already know. Your understanding of grammar will gradually increase.

Intermediate 2 - In these courses, you will reinforce and expand your vocabulary and grammar by learning the past and future tenses so you are able to communicate in a variety of situations including talking about your daily routine, your leisure activities, past events and plans for the future.

Advanced 1 - You will deepen your knowledge and understanding and develop your fluency on a variety of themes.

Advanced 2 - You will broaden your knowledge and extend your grasp of the grammar. You will build your confidence to deal with services and cope in unexpected situations.

Advanced Conversation - “Use it or lose it“ this is the aim of this course. It is suitable for those who have finished their advanced 2 course or those with a relative command of the language who wish to maintain their skills. As a learner, you will be involved in the design of the course content. Topics could be around current affairs or chosen pieces of literature.

WHAT IF...I want to study a Level 3 qualification and I am over 24 – what payment options are there?You can apply for a 24+ Advanced Learning loan which will mean that you do not have to pay back the loan until you are earning over £21,000 per annum. Alternatively, you can pay in full; by instalments or a combination of this and a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan

I applied for a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan and started my course, but I have decided that I do not want to continue attending? The balance of your course fee will be invoiced to you, as the Student Loans Company will not continue to pay the college.

I applied for a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan and started my course, but my application has been refused?The full cost of the course will become payable immediately, and if you decide not to continue with this course any deposit paid will not be refunded.

The prospectus shows ‘price on application’ instead of the actual fee?Individual learners may pay different fees for the same course due to the funding we are able to access on their behalf. The fee is determined based on the educational background and personal circumstances of a learner as well as their age, and due to the range of different fees payable it is not possible to advertise these fees in the brochure as they could mislead potential learners. All the courses that this relates to require an appointment to see and Education and Careers Adviser who, as well as going through the course requirements and course content, will discuss the funding options available to you and provide you with the fee payable.

I have difficulty in finding the fees? We do not wish to exclude anyone who is not in receipt of an active state benefit or cannot afford the fees as they are on a low income. You will be able to apply to the College’s Access or Hardship Funds for partial exemption on the grounds of financial hardship - please refer to page 65. Please request an Access or Hardship Funds application form from the College and return it with the appropriate evidence of income/state benefit and your completed enrolment form. You will be notified of the decision regarding your application within ten working days. Your place will be held on the course while this decision is being reached.

I cannot afford to pay for my course in one amount? It is possible to arrange an instalment plan for your course fees. Please contact the College for further details by emailing [email protected] or telephoning 01702 445700 and select option 1. There is a £10 non-refundable arrangement fee for each instalment plan.

I am paying for my course in instalments, but I have decided that I do not want to continue attending? The remaining instalments of your course fee are still payable.

I am not working and in receipt of an income-based state benefit and wish to study a qualification to get into work? Please apply to the College Access Fund for support with your fees.

I am in full-time education at another school or college; will I have to pay the course fee? Unfortunately, you will need to pay the full cost recovery fee for the course of your choice as you are already receiving funding from the SFA or EFA for your full-time course. Please ask for details of the fees.

I am under 19 and want to take a course that does not lead to a qualification. Will I have to pay for this course? Unfortunately, we only receive funding for those learners who are 19 plus, and therefore the fee will have to be calculated on a full cost recovery basis. Please ask for details of the fees.

I wish to pay for a friend/relative’s course using my debit/credit card? Unfortunately, we are unable to accept third party payments, due to restrictions on refunds to people who are not the learner enrolled on the course.

I need to cancel my enrolment before the course starts? You can have a full refund of your tuition fees, minus the registration fee per course (the registration fee is dependent on the course fee paid) provided we are notified at least one week prior to the course starting. In exceptional circumstances we may be able to refund your registration fee. Please ask a member of the administrative team for more details.

I find the course I have chosen unsuitable when I turn up to the first session? An alternative will be offered, if available, or you can have a full refund of tuition fees less the registration fee (the registration fee is dependent on the course fee paid) provided we are notified within one week of the course start date. Transfers are limited to one per enrolment within the first week of the course. Any additional transfers will be subject to a £10 administrative charge per transfer.

I decide later on in the year that I do not wish to continue? We work to a very tight budget and unfortunately refunds cannot be given.

I’d like to join an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) class, but I am on a low income? Please talk to an Education and Careers Adviser on 01702 445700 and we will try to help.

I’d like to join an ESOL class? You should be a permanent UK resident. However, we don’t wish to exclude anyone who intends to be a permanent resident but does not yet have written permission. In this case, make an appointment to see an Education and Careers Adviser for Information, Advice and Guidance by phoning 01702 445700.

I haven’t been a resident of the UK/European Union (EU) for three years? You will be liable to pay additional course fees. Please ask an Education and Careers Adviser for details.

I am on a waiting list for a course? If you have not been contacted within three weeks of the start of the course, please assume that there is no place available.

The course I am interested in is full? If the course is already full by the time we receive your enrolment form (and you have not indicated an alternative) we will let you know by email wherever possible in the first instance or by other methods where your email address has not been made available to us. Your name will be added to the waiting list. If the course is oversubscribed, we will try to put on another class.

The course I am interested in is not very popular? We always keep enrolment open as late as possible, but unfortunately, courses cannot run if too few people enrol. If the activity you have selected is cancelled, we will try to find you an acceptable alternative. If this is not possible, a full refund of all fees will be made.

I have not studied for a long time? We aim to provide on-course support for any English, maths and general ICT skills you will use on your course. This support may be given by the course tutor or by a Functional Skills support tutor. If you want to know more or to see if this is appropriate for your individual requirements, please speak to your course tutor or an Education and Careers Adviser.

I need support in a class? Please make an appointment to see an Education and Careers Adviser either by telephoning 01702 445700 or by emailing [email protected]. Please note that you need to apply for support for every course you wish to enrol on each year. Support needs can change from one year to the next and between types of course, so it is important that we get the right support in place for you. There may be various ways in which we can assist you. A place will be held for you whilst your request is being considered.

I have a disability and can’t manage the stairs? All courses are accessible to wheelchair users and people who have mobility difficulties (unless otherwise stated due to the nature of the activity). There are also lifts at the Southchurch and Belfairs Centres. However, please contact an Education and Careers Adviser before you enrol if you have mobility concerns.

I need to park my car when I come to classes? Limited parking is available at both the Southchurch and Belfairs Centres. Please note: Users of these car parks do so at their own risk
