To enrol by post, please first download and print out the OCA enrolment form - Enrolment form pdf.
Please complete all sections, as the information you give us about yourself at enrolment allows us to get a picture of the makeup of our student body.
OCA can arrange to deliver parcels to an alternative address if you are not going to be at home to sign for them. Unfortunately, we are not able to ask the delivery company to attempt to deliver first to one address and then, if there is no answer, to your second or alternative address. Please also note that deliveries are not available at weekends. We try to have initial course materials delivered to addresses in England within seven days of your enrolment. Elsewhere different schedules apply – please contact the OCA office for details.
Please be sure to read the Conditions of Enrolment and sign the statement.
Decide which course or courses you want to take and check that the mode of tuition offered suits your needs. For face-to-face tuition, you will be given the closest tutor to your home address. You can find out which locations are available by ringing the Academic Office on 0800 731 2116. For any advanced course, please call OCA on 0800 731 2116 and let a member of the OCA's staff know your preferred tutor – you can find out about the tutors on our advanced courses by requesting a list of tutor specialisms from the Academic Office on 0800 731 2116.
Course fee: check the course fee from the course list on the enrolment form and either tick the box for paying the full fee now or the box for paying by instalments. Enter into Box A either:
depending on which method of payment you have opted for.
Delivery supplement: there is a charge to cover the extra distribution costs of sending materials outside the UK:
Enter the appropriate delivery supplement if it applies.
If paying by credit or debit card, enter your card number, the expiry date and the issue number where relevant.
If paying by instalments, you will also need to complete the direct debit instruction - (click here for a PDF download - Direct Debit Mandate). This authorises your bank or building society to pay us regular sums from your account at our request. Please note: course materials will be dispatched when we have received this instruction. We regret that direct debits can be taken only from UK bank accounts. If you do not have a UK bank account and want to pay by instalments, please enclose with your enrolment form sterling or euro post-dated cheques to cover your instalments.
Your course materials will be delivered to you by APC couriers. We aim to have your materials delivered to you within 8 working days of cleared payment for UK residents.
