Who can join this course
HK BN(O) courses are available for those holding British National Overseas passports only. The courses draw down from every eligible person's £850 government funding in every financial year.
Before enrolling on an HK BN(O) ESOL course you will need to complete an initial assessment. Please book an interview at your local centre.
If your fees exceed the £850 allowance, we will charge the excess. We make every effort to keep our prices as low as possible and therefore regret that we cannot return payments to students who withdraw from a course.
When you enrol, please understand that you are agreeing to pay the total price for the whole course, including all outstanding balances should you withdraw. No concessions or discounts are available for HK BN(O) courses.
