When and how do I pay?

Fees are generally payable at the time of your enrolment. We can accept payment by cash, cheque (payable to SERC), or payment card (e.g. debit / credit).

Please note that fees are chargeable for each academic year. This means that you will have to enrol and pay fees in each year when your course is two or three years in duration.

• Students who withdraw from their course are still liable for payment of their fee in full and therefore all direct debit payments will be collected.

Can I receive a reduced fee/ concessionary rate?

Yes, there are concessions available for certain circumstances.

What happens with my payment if I am applying for funding?

Further Education If you have already been approved for funding from Student Finance NI, in the form of a FE Grant, you must submit your grant letter at the point of enrolment.

The amount of the grant will be deducted from the total fee and if a balance remains this must be paid in full at enrolment, unless the criteria for payment by instalment is satisfied.

If the award covers the total fee, the College will refund the amount already paid by you. The College will cancel any direct debit agreement and issue the refund prior to 1 December 2021. If the grant does not cover the total fee, you remain liable for any balance. If paying by instalments, the College will proceed with the direct debit for the remaining fees on the notified dates. In all instances, the College will refund to youany overpayments that you have made. In the event of Student Finance NI not releasing the full amount of your award (for example if you withdraw), then you will be required to pay the remaining balance of the total fee.

Yes, we call this a sponsored enrolment.

Your sponsor will need to complete a Sponsor Liability Form (available from customer services on campus). The completed form should be submitted to Customer Services at the point of enrolment.

Sponsors will be liable for the full cost of the course fee and concessions do not apply.

The College directly invoices the sponsor for your fees.

Firstly, do not panic!

Chris Doherty, Pearson BTEC HNC in Construction and the Built Environment (Civil Engineering) “I had completed an apprenticeship with the Department of Infrastructure (DfI Roads), studying at SERC on a day release programme; then I enrolled in the HNC in Civil Engineering which I can take over a period of a year while continuing to work. I knew I wanted to study engineering from a young age; my path to this was not straight-forward, but SERC made this obtainable for me. My employers recommended SERC for part-time study and I’m very glad they did.”

Kirsten Fowler, Level 3 Diploma for Children’s Care, Learning and Development “I have a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice, but decided to change paths and wanted a qualification to be able to work with children. A friend already studying here recommended SERC and I also spoke to a SERC careers advisor and got some great advice. This is definitely the course for anyone thinking of working with children, whether in a school or another setting. The SERC tutors are very helpful and always available when you need support or assistance with your assignments.“

Mark Kerr, Planned Work Contract Manager, Fusion Heating “Since completing the course – the CMI Level 7 Strategic Management and Leadership - my approach to certain tasks has changed. I am much more conscious of my individual management style and the importance of involving all key stakeholders in decision making. My decisions are much more strategic. I would encourage anyone working at senior management level to think about the course.”

Denise Malone CMI Level 7 qualification in Strategic Management “I would definitely recommend SERC for students young and old, you put in 100% and get 200% back. The SERC teaching supports personal and professional learning and growth as well as independent development when it comes to your studies. Ther professional team of lectures will give you the guidance and tools you need to carve your own destiny as well as opening your mind. You’ll discover your own potential and explore areas you may not have previously considered - my background is Humanities, Arts and Youth Work, now i have a passion for business and strategy.”

Helen Smyth, Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Children’s Care, Learning and Development “I had already gained a Btec national diploma at SERC then after a few years of work realised I was ready to take on a more senior role and wanted the skills and training to do this. A friend recommended part-time study at SERC and I found I could do my management course at the Bangor campus which is local to me. The support from tutors to achieve your goal is great, and I enjoyed being back in the classroom and interacting with other students whilst still working at my job.”

Student Governor Mollie Richardson, your SERC student governor Following a college-wide vote, Mollie Richardson was elected as the student governor 2020-21.

Mollie, a level 3 Media Student at the Downpatrick Campus, sits on the College governing body representing students. She says:

“I wanted to become student governor because it’s a great way to be more actively involved in SERC and the Students' Union as well as an opportunity to prove and push myself that little bit more. I want every student to know they can approach me with any concerns or to share opinions about life at college. And I want you to let me know what I can do to make each and every student feel more involved and included in SERC. I must add that when you join SERC you should get involved with YOUR Students' Union. It's a great body to be a part of and gain valuable life experiences. You get to use your voice as a student to make a change, not only in the College, but in yourself too!”
