Fee policy

Many community learning courses are subsidised by the Education and Skills Funding Agency for eligible learners. 

Course fees are set annually by Bracknell Forest Council. The council subcontracts some course provision to local community and voluntary organisations. These organisations set their own fee policy.

Course fees 

You can pay course fees:

  • online
  • by credit or debit card over the phone 
  • by cash at Bracknell Open Learning Centre

Fees must be paid in advance in order to confirm a course booking. 

Fees are not refundable unless we cancel a course.

Free courses for jobseekers

If you are looking for work and get eligible benefits, you may be able to attend some courses for free. Ask through our job club to discuss what is available for you.

Free classes in maths, English and digital skills

You might be eligible for free English or maths courses if you do not have a qualification equivalent to GCSE grade C (4) or above. 

Essential digital skills qualifications up to level 1 are also free for eligible learners. Ask through our job club
