WELCOME
We also provide another chance to gain the entry qualifications to university through our ACCESS to HE programme along with a real alternative to studying at a traditional university. Through designing our own degrees and validating them with Middlesex University and the University of Chichester, we have developed a framework that provides cost effective programmes without compromising on the quality, support and guidance given to students.
We are at the forefront of developing high quality, affordable higher education. If the cost of obtaining a degree via the traditional university route is preventing you from furthering your education, or perhaps you are already employed and want to obtain a degree, please do have a look at what there is for you. We are a friendly and supportive community with tutors who continue to work in their chosen career or profession who can bring current real world experience to their teaching and are expert in enabling adults to succeed. We welcome students from all walks of life and age groups.
Some students will have recently left college whilst others are returning to study after quite a gap. The vast majority of our students find that they achieve goals which were perceived as ‘out of reach’ before starting their course. Alongside this a great many friendships are formed as students study and progress together.

to our Adult and Higher Education brochure for 2019. I hope you find it useful and informative. It is impossible to tell you all about Peter Symonds Adult & Higher Education Division in just a few pages, so please do visit us on one of our open events or explore our courses on our website www.psc.ac.uk/ahed. Along with our wide and varied Leisure and Foreign Language programmes we offer a second chance for many to gain formal qualifications enhancing their career and employment opportunities.

DEGREE PROGRAMMES
“Doing a degree through Peter Symonds AHED has completely changed my life. Going back into Education was a daunting thought, but I knew I needed a Degree for my career progression. Previously a House Keeper, I am now an Executive Assistant in the Clinical Services Sector!”
“I loved my degree course at Peter Symonds...it definitely inspired me and gave me the confidence to start a new job at a higher level. My Foundation degree in Early Years has led to me being made the Pre School Supervisor at a school in Swanmore, so I am no longer just an assistant. I am in charge.”

VOCATIONALLY RELATED QUALIFICATIONS (VRQ)VRQs are nationally-recognised qualifications that give students the skills and knowledge required to meet the standards of a particular industry. Rather than taking a formal examination, VRQs are assessed by a qualified assessor within your place of work through successful demonstration of the course learning outcome.
VRQs are suitable for learners who want to improve their knowledge and skills in the industry that they are already employed in such as healthcare, childcare or special education. Some courses may have additional entry requirements. Most courses take a maximum of six months to complete and can be started on demand at any time throughout the year. Unless stated, Certificates are offered at Level 2.

SPORT INJURY & TREATMENT
These courses are aimed at those wishing to develop the knowledge and skills needed to start a career as a Sports Massage Therapist, Sport Massage Practitioner and Sports & Health Promotion.
At Level 3 students learn to work safely and effectively on dysfunctional tissue in a range of contexts and will cover areas such as Anatomy and Physiology, Principles of Health and Fitness and Sports Massage Treatments. The Level 4 Certificate builds upon the skills gained at Level 3, allowing students to develop a range of advanced skills and massage techniques.
On completion of these courses, students could progress on to further study, such as our BSc (Hons) in Sport Injury and Treatment. Students learn how to relieve pain caused by both sporting injuries and general musculoskeletal wear and tear (non-sporting injuries). Successful completion of the course will lead to a BSc (Hons) Degree in Sport Injury & Treatment from The University of Chichester. This programme is accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT).

If courses are cancelled we will notify students within a minimum of 48 hours prior to the start of the course and arrange a transfer to another course or refund the course fee as soon as possible.

FUNDING YOUR STUDIESFu

tud

The table on p.30 details funding available, dependent upon the level of the course you wish to study and your age, based on 2018/19 funding rules.
What it means:
FIRST full level 2 (LE2) If you don’t have a full level 2 qualification or higher, such as 5 GCSEs A*-C /Grade 4-9 or above.
FIRST full level 3 (LE3) If you don’t have a full level 3 qualification or higher, such as 2 or more A Levels or above.
Within this, the funding is split into:
Free You may need to declare your highest level of qualification, give your age, show evidence of particular benefits and/or confirm your employment status.
Subsidised The Government will subsidise particular courses and, therefore, the fee shown already includes the subsidy. You may pay the fee in full or by instalments for courses costing over £100 and lasting for more than 12 weeks. Please note that a £25 admin fee applies to instalment plans.
Student Loan / Full Fees
There is no subsidy or funding for these courses. You may pay the fee in full, by instalments for courses costing over £100 and lasting for more than 12 weeks, or if applicable, apply for an Advanced Learner Loan. You will need to obtain a Learning & Funding information letter when you attend your interview so that you can apply online for the loan. You can also apply for a Higher Education Loan for relevant courses.
www.psc.ac.uk/ahed
Student Loans Company (for Higher Education Courses only)Tuition loans, grants and bursaries are available to all eligible students living in England and studying for their first degree. For further information on student finance packages please visit www.gov.uk/student-finance. Should you require further assistance regarding eligibility and required documentation please contact our Student Support team on 01962 886166, go to our website www.psc.ac.uk/ahed or visit AHEd Reception. If you have already studied for a degree, you are unlikely to be eligible for a Student Loan. For tuition fee assis-tance, some banks offer graduate loans but subject to their own terms & conditions.
Advanced Learner LoansIf you are 19 or over and starting an eligible further education course at Level 3 or above you may qualify for an Advanced Learner Loan. It is easy for you to apply for a loan as household income isn’t taken into account and there is no credit check. Importantly you won’t have to pay anything back until your income is over £25,000 a year. Repaying your Advanced Learner Loan is straightforward and your monthly repayments will be based on your income, not what you borrowed.
