Course Fees
Each individual student will undergo an assessment to determine any eligible funding and will be supplied with essential information regarding the basic cost of the training and what that cost covers.
Hammond Institute would consider each case individually and inform each student before and at pre-training review of any additional costs related to the qualification that the student wants to undertake.
