How do these fees compare with those of other training providers in the same field?

 

Our research into other training providers shows that a student would need to do at least three years at college to get the same level of tuition and practical bench work that Chippendale offers over only 36 weeks (including Christmas and Easter breaks).

When taking into account loss of earnings* and the number of hours** benchwork on this intensive course (24 hours each week under supervision and a further optional 24 hours each week unsupervised), the school offers excellent value for money. This is even when compared with highly-subsidised government training courses whose fees are typically around £1,000 per year. Visit the student gallery to see what students can achieve during the 30-week course, and bear in mind that not all their work is shown here.

 

* The average annual UK salary is £24,500. Potential loss of earnings over two years is £49,000.

 

** Practical bench time on our intensive course is up to 1,500 hours over 30 weeks. Practical bench time at a typical government training centre is 900 hours over three years.
