Full fee
The full fee is paid by everyone who doesn’t qualify for the senior, concessionary or international fee.
Senior fee
Some of our courses are available with a reduced fee for seniors. If you are:
aged 65 years or over at the start of the course
AND have a household income of less than £15,276 a year or rely entirely on a state pension, you may be able to pay the senior fee.
The government don't offer an automatic concession for retired people, so the senior fee is entirely subsidised by City Lit. Due to this, we offer a senior fee on most of our daytime courses only.
If you wish to pay the senior fee please select the senior fee option in the checkout as you book your course online, tick the senior fee option on the printed enrolment form, or let us know when booking by telephone.
Concessionary fee
You may be able to apply for a concession fee or zero fee, dependant on the course you wish to enrol on to.

Concessionary fee places
We reserve the right to limit the number of concessionary places on any course and/or change the guidelines on entitlement to concessionary fees. We are committed to making our courses affordable to as wide a group as possible.
