Failure to pay may ruin your future credit. See our debt management procedures in the Payment Policy in the links and the course handbook in the induction folder.
After a discussion with your tutor, learners will be given the option to take time out of their studies with a time limit up to 6 months depending on how long you have left to complete your course and how far into the course you are. During the timeout period you will not be able to have access to the Learner Zone Dashboard or receive tutor support. However, you could continue with your studies in the meantime while your access to the Learning Zone had temporarily stopped.
The Training Team understands that each case is individual and will look at cases on that basis.
