FINANCIAL SUPPORT
GOVERNMENT FUNDED COURSES
FULL PAYMENT DISCOUNT
If you are interested in studying a Government
funded course but feel you would have difficulty
meeting the costs, you may be eligible to apply
for financial support from the College. Successful
applicants may receive help with the cost of
fees, equipment and childcare. You do not have
to be on benefits to receive financial support.
Many successful applicants are working but have
a low household income.
The College operates a 5% tuition fee discount
on full-time and part-time Further Education
courses of longer than 10 weeks duration if the
learner pays in full at the time of enrolment (to
encourage full payment).
Guidelines and application forms are available
online in the Financial Assistance section of
www.ccb.ac.uk or from the Student Centres at
Pelham Street and City College East Campus.
We have tried to make the application process
as simple as possible but please be aware you
will need to provide us with information and
evidence regarding your financial situation in
order to demonstrate your eligibility.
The funds we have are limited and are offered
at the discretion of the College on a first come,
first served basis. The deadline for applying for
courses starting this September is 4pm on 26th
August 2016. Please note that not all courses are
eligible for support. If you are planning to study
a full cost course you cannot apply for financial

Please note that this is for Further Education
level programmes (excluding students aged
19+ who wish to study and already hold a Level
3 qualification and students aged 24 and over
studying at Level 3 and above whether funded
by a student loan or otherwise) and Home/
EU students only paying their own fees. Full
cost course, Higher Education and International
student fees are not subject to any early
settlement discount.
PART PAYMENT AGREEMENTS
If a course is more than £200 and 10 weeks in
duration you can set up an instalment plan of
up to three months. This will be for three equal
instalments, the first payable on enrolment.
Instalment plans are not available for companies
that are sponsoring learners.
If you withdraw, before all instalments have
been received, we will still require all future
instalments to be paid and will seek to recover
any outstanding instalments if necessary.
ADVANCED LEARNER LOANS
REFUNDS
Funding for Level 3 or 4 courses is no longer
available for students aged between 19 and 23
who already have a full Level 3 qualification, or
for any student aged 24 and over studying at
Level 3 or higher. This means you will need to
pay the full cost of the course. However, you can
apply for an Advanced Learner Loan to help with
these costs.
A refund will be given if a course has been
cancelled by the College and no suitable
alternative can be found. Should you enrol but
do not start the course or withdraw within the
first 2 weeks of the start date of the course a
refund will be given but an administration charge
of £30 will be applied. If you withdraw after 2
weeks of commencement of the course you
will still be liable for all outstanding fees that are
owed to the College. Queries related to refunds
can be emailed to our Finance Department at
the following e-mail address: [email protected].
Any courses applicable to these loans are
marked.
The Advanced Learner Loan is easy to apply
for, doesn’t take your household income into
account and doesn’t involve a credit check.
For learners who do not already hold a full
Level 3 qualification, fee remission is subject to
qualification eligibility. If the qualification is not
entitlement eligible, you will need to pay the
full cost of the course. For more details contact
Student Services on 01273 667759 or visit
www.ccb.ac.uk.
WHAT IF MY EMPLOYER IS PAYING?

from www.ccb.ac.uk. Completed forms can
either be handed in when you enrol or can be

SPONSOR AN EMPLOYEE?

will send you a sponsor pack, which includes an

PATTERN CUTTING
INTRODUCTION
Develop your sewing skills and learn how to make your own
clothes using a commercial pattern. Each term you will work
towards making a new garment, starting with a skirt or pyjama
trousers for complete beginners. To start, you will be introduced
to the College sewing machines and shown how to thread up
and sew a variety of basic and more decorative seams.
On this dynamic course your specialist tutor will show
you how to draft a basic block pattern and how this can be
adapted to your own design. You will produce a sample of
your garment (toile) and learn how to fit, adjust and create
the finished piece. There will be some input on garment
construction but the main emphasis will be pattern cutting. It
is a fast moving, structured course which does require some
additional work at home.
The course will take you through the whole process of making
a garment including selecting and cutting the right size of
pattern, adapting patterns to fit your shape, cutting out fabrics,
sewing darts, pleats and seams, inserting zips, attaching
sleeves, collars, cuffs and stitching hems. Sewing machines
and overlockers are available to use, although you may find it
useful to have your own sewing machine at home to continue
your garment and practise techniques away from the class.

CINEMA 1930S-1950S
- “THIS IS WHERE WE CAME IN”
ONE DAY MASTERCLASS
The events on the frontline in both World Wars are well
documented; however, on this course you will gain a
fascinating insight into domestic, working and social life in
Britain during the wars. The focus is primarily on changing
gender roles, and how when men went to war, women went to
work, taking up positions traditionally held by males. These
periods are brought to life by slides, books, period texts and
film clips, including documentaries.
An era when cinema really reached its heyday, you will
discover that early film was educational as well as entertaining,
giving ordinary people the chance to view new and exciting
events. You will watch film clips, noting cultural aspects and
social conditions, which we hope will lead to a lively group
discussion.

ART DECO, MODERNISM & THE JAZZ
AGE 1918 - 1939
SHORT COURSE
EDWARDIAN: EXTRAVAGANCE &
ECONOMY 1900 - 1914
SHORT COURSE
Discover how the so-called Jazz Age was one of frivolity after
fear. The very distinctive style which emerged during this
period, bright with colour and full of sharp designs, will be
illustrated with slides, books and film clips. You will learn how
the Modernist style was used to furnish homes in a new and
exciting fashion, dominating many aspects of domestic and
cultural life.
Learn more about this brief period, before World War One
changed many lives irrevocably. You will study how a
privileged section of society formed the fashionable set,
contrasting vast wealth with the abject poverty that many lived
in. You will also study how style, in terms of architecture and
furnishings, was changing from the heavy Gothic look to Art
Nouveau. The era comes alive by looking at slides, books and
film clips.

EXPLORING BRIGHTON’S RICH
HISTORY
SHORT COURSE
This is an era that is perhaps not as thoroughly examined as
the two periods of major global conflict; it was however, a time
of rapid social change. You will study for example, how Art
Deco and Modernism came to the fore, the spread of literacy
to the working class, via the launch of the affordable Penguin
paperback, and how advancement in birth control methods
aimed to free women from a continual cycle of child-bearing.
To begin you will be guided through the fascinating history
of Brighton in two classroom sessions. This is then
complemented by three field trips, on which you will visit
places of interest in this unique city, learning how Brighton
evolved from a small Georgian fishing town to the vibrant
seaside resort of today.

This course will focus on the social and cultural changes
following World War Two, charting the progress from austerity
to affluence in post-war Britain. Novels, films and plays of the
period which had a significant social impact, such as ‘Saturday
Night and Sunday Morning’ and ‘A Taste of Honey’, will also

Literature and films from this period provide us with unwitting
testimony of how people lived, worked and spent their leisure
time. You will gain much on this course by looking beneath
the surface, and will also investigate how and why filmmakers
made changes to aspects of a story as originally featured in
the novel. Novels and films of the same title include, ‘Room at
the Top’ (1957) by John Braine (film 1959), ‘A Kind of Loving’
(1960) by Stan Barstow (film 1962) and ‘The L-Shaped Room’
(1960) by Lynne Reid Banks (film 1962).
It is not a requirement to read any of the novels to be studied
