Overseas students are required to pay 50% of course fee when they enrol, and for students already in the United Kingdom a minimum deposit of 50% of course fee is required. Payments must be made in accordance with the agreed payment plan as arranged in writing at the time of enrolment.

All discounts are at the BSL's discretion, and we reserve the right to cancel all special offers made to students if they fail to pay their fees as agreed with the BSL. Failure to pay a discounted price within the specified time period will make you liable for the fees in full as previously advertised. Booking forms must be accompanied by payment or the employer's authorisation to be invoiced directly.

Where the employer has agreed to pay full payment is due within 30 days of the date of invoice, or within the due date specified on the invoice if courses are booked less than 30 days before the course start date.

If an instalment plan has been agreed, the student must provide post-dated cheques or agree to their credit card being charged with any outstanding balances on the agreed dates.

BSL will retain any passports of students until they clear their outstanding fees if it emerges that the application to the Home Office was made through the BSL and if the passport is still in our possession. We may further choose to contact the Home Office and inform them your position at our discretion if we feel that you have made commitments that you are clearly unable to meet.

Course booking

Course start dates, course curriculum and programs may be subject to change. Where a student is unable to commence the course on time, the student (or agent) must contact the BSL to arrange another commencement date. It is the responsibility of the person making the booking to ensure that the selected course is appropriate for their needs.

Any change in the students' contact details must be notified in writing.

BSL does not accept responsibility for registering students with professional bodies or entry for the relevant exams.

Course fees are not transferable to another student or another institution. BSL has the right to cancel courses at short notice if registered students are less than five in a particular course. Where the BSL is unable to provide a course for which the student has enrolled, course fees will be refunded in full.
