Details
Our courses are generously subsidised by the Isle of Wight Council and the Learning and Skills Council; however most opportunities incur a course fee and / or a material charge to help cover costs (see listings for details). The course fees are the equivalent of £4 per session (£2 concessionary fee available for those on means tested beneï¬t). It is easier to pay in full at the ï¬rst session, but where this is not possible you can pay in instalments or weekly.
