In short: enrol as soon as you are ready. All live course dates are available for you to enrol on.

Unlike most training centres SEM has a limit on lecturer to student ratio and keeps its class sizes small. We therefore have limited availability and courses fill up in advance. We would recommend enrolling as soon as you are ready, to avoid disappointment. 

Options 1 – 2: If you are funding with Monthly Finance with Omni Capital (credit check involved)

• Apply online now via the course page, this will take you to Omni Capital’s page for the finance side of the application.
• Your finance decision should be immediate.
• Monthly repayments to Omni Capital do not begin until 1 month after your finance application has been accepted.
• The initial downpayment is paid to SEM, which is required once your finance application has been accepted.

Options 3 – 4: If you are funding yourself (no credit check)

• Enrol online, this will prompt you for your registration fee or the full amount depending on the payment option.
• A course advisor will then be in touch to finalise your remaining payments if any are required.

Options 1 – 2: Get instant Monthly Finance with Omni Capital (you will need to be in employment)

Prospective students are able to get an instant online decision to fund training though our partner Omni Capital. Please note Omni Capital will undertake a credit check when you apply for finance.

To apply, you must be 18 or over, earning over £5000 annually and have been living in the UK for at least 3 years before your course starts. Omni Capital will also take into consideration additional factors such as your credit score. If you are uncertain about whether applying for the finance is right for you, please contact a course advisor first.

• Apply by selecting the course start date, and the monthly payment duration that best suits your situation
• Click ‘Enrol on Course’
• On the second page, fill out your student details. At the bottom of the page select ‘Monthly Payments Omni Capital’.
• This will reveal a dropdown. Select the monthly payment duration again.
• Then select ‘Apply Now’
• This will take you through to Omni Capital’s site to complete the finance application – a decision on the finance is normally instant.
  
• Assuming your finance is accepted, you will need to pay:
  • The downpayment to SEM immediately
  • The monthly payments to Omni Capital do not begin for 28 days. We always advise ringing them on 0333 240 8318 to confirm the date of your direct debit. 

You will need to pay a minimum 5% downpayment on the course fees to SEM at the point of successful finance application, although you have the option to make anything up to a 50% downpayment on course fees (a larger downpayment will make your monthly instalments cheaper). Should you wish to make a larger downpayment, contact SEM instead of applying online, as we will need to setup a bespoke application.

Options 3 – 4: Fund the course yourself

There are no credit checks involved with these options. 

If you have not lived in the UK for the past three years, or have low or no credit score, then these options may be relevant for you as you may not qualify for Omni Capital finance.

You can use the finance calculator to try the potential options that suit your budget.

There is a minimum of 5% non-refundable registration fee (downpayment for the course fees) required from the student at the point of successful application. The calculator will tell you minimum deposit required on the right hand side. To pay a bigger registration fee to lower your monthly payments, please contact the school and we can create a bespoke finance application for you.

EG: Ableton Live Course. Fees: £495.

£495 over 6 months: Deposit £25 : Monthly instalments of £78.33. Total finance £495.
