10. If your requested course and accommodation are available, the school will send you a Confirmation of Booking (including your CAS number if required) within 24 hours of receiving all the correct information and fees. We will also send a statement showing the amount you have paid and any remaining fees.

12. Students who are funded by an overseas government must follow all the steps above. We require a financial guarantee letter from your sponsor addressed to the school. You must pay the course fees yourself until we receive this letter. After we receive this letter we will return all the fees you have paid that are covered by the financial guarantee letter – this usually excludes accommodation, airport transfer and teaching materials.
