For in-person weekdays courses, an interview and acceptance of your application by Portobello Institute is required before you make a full course payment. Please read The Enrolment Process below and follow all the steps. Once you have booked for an interview, we will communicate with you using the mobile and/or email address you provided
The Enrolment Process
Step 1 - Apply for Interview
Before applying for an interview, please check that you are eligible to take the course – each course page has a section marked ‘Entry Requirement’ and this section details the eligibility requirement. If you are not sure about eligibility, please contact us.
Step 2 - Acceptance of place if you are successful with your interview
Before applying for an interview, please check that you are eligible to take the course – each course page has a section marked ‘Entry Requirement’ and this section details the eligibility requirement. If you are not sure about eligibility, please contact us.
If you are offered a place after interview, you can accept by making:
- Full payment of the course fees upfront – €1,650 deposit must be paid to secure your place.
- Paying 50% of the course fees upfront and 50% within the next 2 months.
- Payment of 40% off the cost of the course and the remaining balance can be set up on an instalment plan. This option is subject to an additional administration fee. Please contact us for further information on instalment plans.
Note on EXAM FEES: All exam fees must be paid before the course start date regardless of payment choice above. You will find details of exam fees in the relevant course pages. Exam fees listed in a currency other than Euro must be paid separately by Bankers Draft and made out to Portobello Institute in the currency specified. If no exam fee is specified, that means the exam fee is already included in your course fee.
Please note: There is a Late Payment policy which may apply if your account is not settled within 10 days of course commencement.
