Student Protection Plan THE CITY COLLEGE STUDENT PROTECTION PLAN Provider’s name: Inter-Ed UK Ltd t/a The City College Provider’s UKPRN: 10010213 Legal address: University House, 55 East Road, London N1 6AH Contact point for enquiries about this student protection plan: The Director of Studies STUDENT PROTECTION PLAN FOR THE PERIOD 2018/19 1. An assessment of the range of risks to the continuation of study for your students, how those risks may differ based on your students’ needs, characteristics and circumstances, and the likelihood that those risks will crystallise The risk that The City College as a whole is unable to operate is low because our financial performance is strong, and a sound business continuity plan is in place ready to deal with any major disruption. The College also operates from a single site which is owned by a partner company so therefore the risk that this site would close is very low. The risk that the College will not be able to deliver individual programmes is also low. There are five level 4/5 HND programmes, a level 3 and a level 5 teaching programme, and the level 6 Acupuncture and Tui Na programmes. Recruitment has been consistent for a number of years from the appropriate sectors. Numbers for the provision for Acupuncture and Tui Na provision are increasing and in line with expectations. The College is committed to providing teaching for all students who have enrolled or been accepted onto an existing course and any course closure would only occur once all students had completed their studies. The risk that the College is no longer able to deliver material components of our programmes is low. Units are designed to be taught by teams of academic staff. Most of our academic staff are hourly paid and teach at other colleges or universities. Our central location and reputation helps us to recruit and retain a wide variety of well-qualified and experienced staff to teach on our courses. The risk that the College will not maintain its’ accreditation to deliver programmes from Pearson, the awarding body, is low. This is based on the fact there has been consistently positive annual management reports and annual External Examiner reports published by Pearson. The risk that the College will not maintain its’ designation is medium-low. The College has a solid history of meeting QAA expectations as part of the HER and annual review process. The most recent annual review stated improvements were needed and the College has been addressing these by implementing revised and robust quality assurance and enhancement systems, procedures, policies and practices. 2. The measures that you have put in place to mitigate those risks that you consider to be reasonably likely to crystallise In the unlikely event that the College decided to discontinue provision, we would teach out the programme ensuring that all students enrolled on the programme or holding an offer of a place are able to complete the course. An action plan will be put in place to provide students with an assurance that they will be able to complete their studies and that they would not be adversely affected by the closure. Where applications have been received to the programme but no offers made, applicants will be notified as soon as possible in order that they are able to find an alternative programme. 3. Information about the policy you have in place to refund tuition fees and other relevant costs to your students and to provide compensation where necessary in the event that you are no longer able to preserve continuation of study If the College was not able to preserve the continuation of study, it has sufficient financial resources to teach out existing course, reflected in the Refund and Compensation Policy to which we will adhere and make available on the website and intranet. In addition: As mentioned in the Business Continuity Plan, the College has business interruption insurance cover for up to 24 months which would come into force in the case the college cannot continue its operations due to unavoidable circumstances In case of closure, the college would endeavour to teach out students who have paid fees for the academic year/ period. In terms of students funded by the Student Loan Company, fees are paid on a termly basis. If student attendance is confirmed for a particular term, every effort will be made to teach students for the reminder of that term In terms of change of location, students will be given at least 6 months’ notice in advance before the change in location. If a student wished to withdraw, then a refund will be given on a pro rata basis. If the change in location added extra cost for travel, the college would reimburse the difference in costs between the current and the new location In terms of compensation, this would be assessed on case-by-case basis. 4. Information about how you will communicate with students about your student protection plan The College will publicise our student protection plan to current and prospective students using our website, the intranet and the student handbooks. Staff will be made aware of the implications of our student protection plan when they propose course changes through the course approval procedure, annual programme monitoring procedure or periodic review procedure, as appropriate. The student protection plan will be reviewed by the Senior Leadership Team and with students through the Student-Staff Liaison Committee meetings, and other relevant meetings with students. Student involvement will therefore be through the elected student representative system utilising cohort reps. and programme reps. Any changes will then be confirmed using the website, intranet and by contacting students individually through letter or email. Students affected would also be invited to a meeting if this was practicable. If this student protection plan needs to be engaged in any way we would aim to provide all students with a minimum 6 months’ notice of closures/ withdrawal, excepting in emergency situations and/ or events beyond our control where this may not be possible. The College also has a Business Continuity Plan in place to manage emergency situations effectively.

Successful completion of the BTEC HND is equivalent to completing the first two years of a Business-related honours degree at a UK university. The qualification is recognised by Higher Education providers (e.g. universities) as meeting admission requirements to many relevant business-related courses, including, for example: BSc (Hons) in Business and Management BA and BSc (Hons) in Business Studies BSc (Hons) in International Management. Students should always check the entry requirements for degree programmes at specific Higher Education providers where they wish to gain admission and ‘top-up’ their HND. Degree Finder Pearson's Degree Finder (DF) tool has been created for students studying a Pearson BTEC Higher National qualification who are looking for progression options to university.

Look for a direct pathway by entering the specific Higher National subject, including the level and pathway, to find out where your qualification can take you. (Please find the link in the section Useful Links below) 5: Programme structure The regular timescale for achieving a Level 5 HND by full-time study is two-years. Progression to Year 2 of the programme is dependent on satisfactory completion of Year 1 Level 4 HNC: Requires successful completion of 8 units Mixes 6 core and 2 optional units, each with a value of 15 credits (120 total) Total Qualification Time (TQT) is 1200 hours Total Guided Learning Hours (GLH) is 480 hours The total independent learning hours for Higher National Certificate (HNC) is 720 hours Follows the General Business pathway.  Year 2 Level 5 HND: Requires successful completion of a further 7 units (therefore 15 in total) Mixes 2 core, 3 specialist and 2 optional units, each with a value of 15 credits except the Research Project which is 30 credits (240 total minimum) Total Qualification Time (TQT) is 2400 hours Total Guided Learning Hours (GLH) is 960 hours The total independent learning hours for Higher National Diploma (HND) is 1,440 hours Follows the Business Management specialist pathway. TQT (Total Qualification Time) is an estimate of the total amount of time that could reasonably be expected to be required for a student to achieve and demonstrate the achievement of the level of attainment necessary for the award of a qualification. It can include, for example, guided learning, independent and unsupervised research/ learning, unsupervised coursework, watching a pre-recorded podcast or webinar, and unsupervised work-based learning. GLH (Guided Learning Hours) are defined as the time when a tutor is present to give specific guidance towards the learning aim being studied on a programme. This definition includes lectures, tutorials and supervised study in, for example, open learning centres and learning workshops. Guided Learning includes any supervised assessment activity; this includes invigilated examination and, observed assessment and observed work-based practice. Independent learning hours  are the hours when a student is learning without the direct guidance of a member of the centre staff. They are critical to the student’s ability to develop knowledge and skills, as well as providing them with the opportunity to develop key transferrable skills such as self-discipline, time management and self-motivation. The 240 credits achieved by successful completion of the HND is equivalent to completing the first two years of a Business-related honours degree at a UK university (see section 8 below). 6: What is studied and how is it timetabled and assessed? The academic year is divided into three terms and in each term you will normally be timetabled to study 2-3 units. You will usually be timetabled for at least two to three days per week and it must be noted that the timetable changes from term-to-term as the programme develops and units are completed. A variety of forms of assessment evidence will be used, suited to the type of learning outcomes being assessed. Some units, for example, require a practical demonstration of skills, while others require students to carry out their own research and analysis, working independently or as part of a team. Methods of assessment may include, for example, writing a report or essay, recording an interview or role play, examination or in-class tests, giving a presentation with assessor questioning, making a PowerPoint presentation, creating academic posters, displays or leaflets, or keeping a reflective journal. The specification below covers Higher Nationals in Business taught from the academic year September 2021 onwards. YEAR 1 *If you are an applicant who completed the Higher National Certificate before September 2021 and want to do the Higher National Diploma, please get in touch for further advice. YEAR 2 7: Calculation of the overall qualification grade Assessment decisions for Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals must be based on specific criteria provided for each unit and grade level, ensuring consistent standards across qualifications. Each unit assesses the student's understanding, practical skills, and vocational qualities. The criteria follow a hierarchical structure, where higher grades require meeting both lower and higher-level criteria. For example, to achieve a merit, a student must meet both 'explain' (pass criterion) and 'analyse' (merit criterion). Assessors must document how they reached their decisions using the criteria in assessment records. Once all assessments for a unit are completed, the assessment team assigns a grade based on the highest level the student has met for all criteria: Pass: The student meets all pass criteria for the learning outcomes, covering the unit content and achieving Level 4 or 5 of the national framework. Merit: The student meets all merit criteria (and pass criteria) through high performance in each Learning Outcome. Distinction: The student meets all distinction criteria (and pass and merit criteria), demonstrating outstanding performance across the whole unit. Points per credit Pass: 4 x amount of credit of given unit Merit: 6 x amount of credit of given unit Distinction: 8 x amount of credit of given unit Point boundaries Pass 420−599 Merit 600−839 Distinction 840 + 8: Entry requirements and admissions Pearson requires The City College to ensure that every student we enrol has a reasonable expectation of success in the programme.

Financial planning is also crucial; budget for tuition fees, accommodation, and living expenses, and be mindful of additional costs such as books, stationery, and travel.

Office for Students What It Means to Be a Registered Higher Education Provider Being a registered higher education provider means that the institution has met the eligibility requirements set by the Office for Students (OfS) and is officially listed on the OfS Register. This registration indicates that the provider complies with specific regulatory conditions and standards set by the OfS. https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/for-providers/regulatory-resources/the-ofs-register/#/provider/10010213 Why Do Higher Education Providers Register with the OfS?

Providers in the Approved (fee cap) category can charge higher statutory fee limits and receive direct grant funding. Quality Assurance: Registration ensures that providers meet high standards of education quality and governance, which can enhance their reputation and attract students. Degree Awarding Powers: Registered providers can apply for the authority to award degrees and use the title "university," which can increase their credibility and appeal. International Recruitment: Registration enables providers to apply for student sponsor licences, allowing them to recruit international students.
