This month, Warwickshire County Council announced that it had withdrawn funding for subsidised travel. There will be some subsidised funding for students with specific learning difficulties and disabilities. Please contact the County Council or the operators directly for more information about your travel options.
In the past the college has offered subsidised transport for students travelling on the 220 and 221 buses from Solihull. Unfortunately changes in funding nationally means that the college is no longer able to offer a discount on these buses. The transport cost for new students joining in September will be £650 for the academic year. Payments can be made by cheque or direct debit on a monthly basis. Students starting the second year of a two year course will pay £500 for the academic year. All places will be subject to availability.
Other transport providers from the Solihull area include:

Changes to Transport Provision
There will be a number of changes to Local Authority transport in 2010/11. We would advise that all prospective students contact their County Council, Local Authority or transport provider for more information.
