Payment In order to reserve a place on any of our courses, you must supply payment together with your application. Payment will not be processed until receipt of suitable references (if applicable) and your application has been approved. Non-payment will result in non-enrolment on the course. There are three ways to pay: Option 1 - Payment in full. This attracts a discount of £150 from the listed course fee. Option 2 - Pay in two instalments. This attracts a discount of £50 from the listed course fee. Option 3 - Pay in ten instalments. The first instalment by either cheque or card payment sent with your application and thereafter by standing order from your bank account. To use this payment option you need to indicate your preference on your application form and our Finance Manager, Preet Vadher will contact you via email to arrange payment. NOTE: Options 2 and 3. Installment payments will require you to sign an additional loan agreement. You can pay your fees by credit card, debit card, or cheque made payable to Psychosynthesis & Education Trust. Please note that a fee of 3% is payable for all credit card payments. This does not apply to debit card payments

Deferred Students. Our courses (except introductory courses and the Atrium Year) are validated by the University of East London (UEL). Students on UEL programmes are permitted two attempts at submitting assessed work. Failure to pass by the second attempt means that the entire module has to be repeated which is chargeable.

Bursaries PET has a limited bursary scheme for students in serious financial difficulty. The Trust's Bursary Panel will consider applications for bursaries for up to a maximum of 50% of course fees. The number and size of bursaries is limited by available funds. Further information is in the bursary form, here and guidelines here. There is also very helpful information about other bursaries for counselling training available in the BACP website

Cancellation and Refunds Policy Non-payment or late payment of instalments will usually result in a student being asked to leave the course. Students are not permitted to progress to the next academic year if fees from previous years remain outstanding. In the event of a student discontinuing the course the Trust retains the right to claim the full annual fees due, and will retain such fees paid in advance, and collect any such fees that continue to fall due by standing order. In the event of any refund (see below) the Trust will retain a £50 management charge from any fees paid. At its discretion, the Trust may consider a refund using the following guidelines: a. If a student is unable to start the course and has to drop out prior to the first session then a full refund can be made, less the management charge. b. If a student withdraws within one calendar month of their first orientation session (or first thematic weekend of the year), they may receive up to a 75% refund, less the management charge. c. If a student withdraws within 2 calendar months of their orientation (or first thematic weekend of the year), they may receive up to a 50% refund, less the management charge. After a student has enrolled for more than 2 calendar months from their orientation (or thematic weekend of the year), there will be no refund. The date the written notice is received by the Trust of withdrawal from the course, will be the date used for the consideration of refunding fees.

Please note our prices may be subject to change and we will notify you in the event of an applicable change.
