- Student Protection Plan | The City College
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.

They are highly regarded by both industry and higher education institutions as leading career-focused qualifications at Levels 4 and 5. In developing BTEC Higher National qualifications, Pearson collaborates with a diverse group of students, employers, higher education providers, colleges, and subject matter experts to ensure the qualifications meet their needs and expectations. Pearson also engages with professional bodies to ensure alignment with recognised standards. The Pearson BTEC Higher National qualifications address the growing demand for high-quality professional and technical education at undergraduate Levels 4 and 5. They offer students a clear pathway to employment and the option to pursue a degree at Level 6. As the awarding body, Pearson has approved The City College to offer a variety of Higher National qualifications. The College’s management and lecturing team is responsible for ensuring that the quality of the provision meets Pearson’s exacting conditions and standards. Quality is monitored regularly through visits from Pearson’s External Examiners and a regular Pearson Annual Management Review. In addition, once you become a student, the BTEC HN Global website provides a specially designed range of digital resources to give you the best possible experience during the BTEC Higher Nationals course. (Please find the link in the section Useful Links below) 2. Why choose a Higher National Qualification in International Travel and Tourism Management? The purpose of these qualifications is to develop students as professional, self-reflecting individuals able to meet the demands of employers in the travel and tourism sector and adapt to a constantly changing world. They aim to widen access to higher education and enhance the career prospects of those who undertake them. Objectives of the Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals in International Travel and Tourism Management: To develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to succeed in the travel and tourism workplace. To secure the knowledge and understanding that underpins the study of the travel and tourism sector, preparing students for further study or training. To provide experience of the breadth and depth of the travel and tourism sector. To enable students to develop higher education study skills, such as the ability to conduct research and self-study. KEY INFORMATION Starting Dates: January / April Mode of Study: Full-time Duration: HND – Two years Awarding Body: Pearson Award: BTEC Level 4 Higher National Certificate in International Travel and Tourism Management Award: BTEC Level 5 Higher National Certificate in International Travel and Tourism Management : Price: Full-Time (On-site Learning) £6,355/year * STUDENT LOAN AVAILABLE * 3: Aims of the Level 4 and Level 5 HND in International Travel and Tourism Management Aims of the Pearson BTEC Level 4 Higher National Certificate in ITTM The Level 4 units provide a broad introduction to the sector, laying the foundation for learning. Students will gain a sound knowledge of the basic concepts and characteristics of travel and tourism. They will develop: A wide range of sector knowledge tied to practical skills gained in research, self-study, directed study, and workplace scenarios. The qualities needed for employment that require some degree of personal responsibility. A range of transferable skills for effective team working, independent initiatives, organisational competence, and problem-solving strategies. The ability to be adaptable and flexible, show resilience under pressure, and meet challenging targets. Aims of the Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma (HND) in ITTM: The Level 5 programme follows the flexible ‘General International Travel and Tourism Management’ pathway. Students will: Develop a sound understanding of the principles in their field of study and learn to apply those principles more widely. Learn to evaluate the appropriateness of different approaches to solving problems. Be able to perform effectively in their chosen field and possess the qualities necessary for employment in situations requiring the exercise of personal responsibility and decision-making. 4: What employment and further study opportunities could these qualifications lead to? Having a BTEC HNC/HND provides a solid grounding in travel and tourism, which students can build on should they decide to continue their studies. On successful completion of the Level 5 Higher National Diploma, students can develop their careers in the travel and tourism sector through: Entering or continuing existing employment. Linking with the appropriate Professional Body. Committing to Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Progressing to university. Those who enter employment may do so in job roles such as: Marketing and Sales Manager Operations Manager Tourism Development Manager Visitor Attractions Manager Events Manager Progression to University Successful completion of the BTEC HND is equivalent to completing the first two years of a 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 travel and tourism-related courses, including, for example: BA (Hons) in International Travel and Tourism BA (Hons) in Aviation Management BA (Hons) in Tourism Management BA (Hons) in Museum and Heritage Studies 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. You can use the DF before, during, or after completing your Pearson course to help you plan your next steps. It is recommended that you read through the user guidance before searching. 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. 5: Programme structure The normal timescale for achieving a Level 4 HNC by full-time study is one-year. The normal timescale for achieving a Level 5 HND by full-time study is two-years. Progression to Year 2 is dependent on satisfactory completion of Year 1. TQT (Total Qualification Time) is an estimate of the total amount of time reasonably required for a student to achieve the qualification, including guided learning and independent study. GLH (Guided Learning Hours) are defined as the time a tutor is present to give specific guidance, including lectures, tutorials, supervised study, and supervised assessment activity. The 240 credits achieved by successful completion of the HND is equivalent to completing the first two years of a Travel and Tourism related honours degree at a UK university. 6: What is studied and how is it timetabled and assessed? The academic year is divided into three terms and you will normally study 2–3 units in each term. You will usually be timetabled for at least two days per week. Please note 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. 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, making a PowerPoint presentation, creating academic posters, displays or leaflets, or keeping a reflective journal. The specification below covers Higher Nationals in ITTM taught from the academic year Sept 2018-July 2019 to date of date of last Registration August 2026 Year 1 Year 2 7:Calculation of the overall qualification grade The calculation of the overall qualification grade is based on the student’s performance in all units. Students are awarded a Pass, Merit or Distinction qualification grade using the points gained through all 120 credits, at Level 4 for the HNC or Level 5 for the HND, based on unit achievement. The overall qualification grade for the HND is calculated based on student performance in Level 5 units only. 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 All units in valid combination must have been attempted for each qualification. Units that have been attempted but not achieved, and subsequently granted compensation, will appear as ‘Unclassified’ (‘U’ grade) on the student’s Notification of Performance. 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. Applicants aged over 21 years at the start of their course and who have been out of education for at least three years are classed as ‘mature students’. Mature students will be required to have at least a qualification at Level 1 and to provide the certificate. For those under 21, who have recently been in education, the entry profile has to include a Level 3 qualification or the equivalent: A relevant BTEC Level 3 qualification A GCSE Advanced Level profile that demonstrates strong performance in a relevant subject or adequate performance in more than one GCE subject. This profile is likely to be supported by GCSE grades A* to C and/or 9 to 4 (or equivalent) in subjects such as Maths and English Other related Level 3 qualifications An Access to Higher Education Diploma awarded by an approved further education institution An international equivalent of the above. Applications are made either directly to the College or through an educational consultant. All applications are treated the same regardless of their origin. All applicants with sufficient entry qualifications are then invited to the admissions process, which consists of an interview and, if successful, an English entry test. 9: Application process All applicants must first submit all relevant documents in the following checklist to the College with a completed online application form: Completed Application form which has been signed Passport size photo An up-to-date CV Passport or other official photo ID Proof of residency Qualification certificates Next of Kin/ emergency contact phone number and address Proof of address which includes your full name and current address. After all the documents have been checked, the applicant must sit an entry test as part of the admissions process. If the interview is passed, applicants are invited to sit an English test. After the interview, all components of the process are considered, and the student will be informed of the decision, normally within 48 hours. 10: English language ability for non-native speakers (not born in the UK) Non-native English speakers who have not undertaken their final two years of schooling in English, must demonstrate capability in English at Level 2 (or equivalent) before being admitted to the programme. Equivalent grades to Level 2 include ● Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) level B2 ● PTE Academic 51, ● IELTS 5.5 (reading and writing must be at 5.5). 11: English language ability for non-native speakers who were taught in English for the final two years of school (or more) Some applicants will not be native-speakers but will have studied the final two years of school in English (eg. those from West Africa). 12: Preparing for Higher Education Embarking on your higher education journey involves several essential steps to ensure a smooth transition and academic success. Start by confirming that you have the necessary qualifications and knowledge for your chosen course. Develop effective study habits and familiarise yourself with academic resources. 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. It's important to cultivate key skills such as time management, critical thinking, and communication. Developing self-discipline and adaptability will help you handle university life more effectively. Maintaining your health and well-being is vital, so learn stress management techniques and adopt a healthy lifestyle, ensuring you have access to healthcare and support services. Lastly, engage in induction activities and connect with peers to build a supportive network. By focusing on these areas, you'll be well-prepared for a successful higher education experience.

We hope you have a positive learning experience at The City College. 13: Additional costs It is vital that all students have their own up-to-date computer or laptop and internet access for blended learning, assessments, and accessing online college resources. While tuition fees cover the cost of programme delivery, there may be additional expenses such as books, stationery, awarding body registration fees, professional body registration fees, and travel costs to events.

Student Welfare Pastoral-Care-Policy v8 Reasonable Adjustment and Special Consideration Policy v7 RASC Application Form Reasonable Adjustment and Special Considerations Leaflet for CCA Reasonable Adjustment and Special Considerations Leaflet for BTEC Student Welfare at The City College If you are thinking about applying to The City College or The City College of Acupuncture, it is important that you make us aware of any individual support that you may require. Student Recruitment: Interview and Online Test During the recruitment process, applicants will be given an interview and an English test. The English test is online and is dyslexia friendly. If you are concerned about either the interview or testing process, please do contact the college, and we are happy to discuss personal needs with you. Student Support If your course is funded by the Student Loan Company/Student Finance England and you have a long-term medical condition, mental health issue or neurodiversity that impacts your education, then you may be able to apply for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) through Student Finance England*. Whether or not you are eligible for DSA, you can receive internal help through Reasonable Adjustments and Special Consideration (RASC) support. It is important that you disclose any medical conditions or learning differences as soon as possible, preferably before starting the programme. The College is unable to give you additional support in your studies if we are unaware of individual requirements. If you were diagnosed/become aware of issues after enrolling on the programme, please provide evidence of any medical/other condition, as soon as possible. If you suspect that you may need extra support and have no formal paperwork, please do still come and speak to us, as we may be able to offer internal support. *Please note that Acupuncture courses do not receive Student Finance Funding and therefore CCA students are not eligible for DSA. What are Reasonable Adjustments/Special Considerations? A reasonable adjustment is any action that helps to reduce the effect of a disability or difficulty that places a student at a substantial disadvantage during their time as a student. Examples of reasonable adjustments include, but are not limited to, extensions for submission deadlines, assessment material in large print, or photocopies on coloured paper. Additionally, as formal practical and written exams are part of their course, our Acupuncture RASC students are entitled to a pro-rata extra time allowance of 15 minutes per hour for these exams. A special consideration is any action that helps reduce the effect of a short-term issue that places the student at a substantial disadvantage during exams or assessments. Examples of special considerations may include, but are not limited to, deferrals of exams or extensions for submission deadlines. Other Support: The City College provides support to all students through their Welfare Officer and supporting administration team. If you have individual needs, then please do speak to us as every student is different, and we will do our utmost to make your experience as a student as easy as possible.
