CoFE: adult courses at risk of cancellation
SOME adult education courses at the College of Further Education are at risk of cancellation with applications down following a controversial price hike.
With many of the subjects marked to start next week, the lack of applicants has led to the college appealing to people to consider enrolling.
‘While prices are slightly higher this year, they haven’t increased significantly and the courses offer excellent value for money,’ said the college’s principal, Louise Misselke.
‘The increased fees may partly explain a drop in applications, but students enrol on the programme throughout the year so it’s too early to say if the higher cost has had significant impact on numbers at present.’
This summer, the courses’ fees were increased by between £20 and £50 each.
