Amac Easy Payment Plan
Amac has an Easy Payment Plan to help students with fees. If the fee for your course is over £450, you can pay over three monthly instalments, if your fee is over £900 you can pay over five monthly instalments, and if your fee is over £2000 you can pay over ten monthly instalments. Terms and conditions apply. Just call 01227 831 840 and ask one of our course advisors to find out if you are eligible for assistance.

The Easy Payment Plan makes budgeting for course expenses more flexible each month because it lets you pay in installments every month on an INTEREST FREE BASIS.

You can make payments by bank card directly from your bank account so there are no payment dates to remember. All you need to do is complete a simple card debit authority prior to starting your course of study and we debit the authorised amount every month – it couldn’t be easier!

What does the Easy Payment Plan cover?
The Easy Payment Plan covers all tuition and course fees for the specified period during which you are enrolled in the plan. Expenses for accommodation, fines, parking fees or administrative costs and additional re-sit fees charged by Amac are not covered in the plan.

How does it work?
The advantage of the Easy Payment Plan is that you gain more flexibility to fit course fee payments into your budget.

Instead of making one single payment for the entire amount, you can enroll in The Easy Payment Plan and make a series of separate installments each month interest free. An admin fee of 4% is chargeable which is added to the total course fee.

For example, your full course fees for Level 3 Personal Trainer Diploma would total £2704.00 (including the 4% administration fee) and your payments would cover the chosen duration of the course as follows:

The table below provides some examples of what your monthly payments might be, depending on the price of your chosen course.

How do I enroll in the plan?
To be eligible for the Easy Payment Plan, you must apply for the plan at or before commencement of your course. Simply complete the Easy Payment Application form and return to us in the post.

Amac Easy Payment Plan Agreement


What if my payment is late?
As payments are made by bank card and therefore come straight from your bank account, this should never happen. If your payment is not authorised for any reason, we will contact you to ascertain the reasons why and reserve the right to pursue payment in accordance with our standard terms and conditions. There is a possibility of suspending your attendance on booked course/s.

Gone are the days where students are asked to attend voluntary work placements. Time and efforts should be rewarded, which is why AMAC offer paid Apprenticeships. The leisure industry is evolving all the time and this training pathway will allow the apprentice to earn whilst they learn and to gain knowledge and recognised qualifications. Not only this they will gain valuable work experience and skills to develop and grow whilst being trained.

Tuesday 8th February
We started the week by attending a Parents and Carers evening based at Maidstone Connexions, this gave us the opportunity to talk to young people, also their parents and carers. It helped raise the general awareness of apprenticeships to highlight their value as an entry route into a successful career within the fitness and leisure industry.

Wednesday 9th February
We were invited to attend an employer’s event hosted by Mid-Kent College, Gillingham. This covered the benefits to the employer such as:

• People bringing youth, passion, energy and an exciting approach to the workplace.
• Up-to-date, relevant skill set training which can be applied from their first day
• Taking on an apprentice could reduce your recruitment budget

Thursday 10th February
We attended a student event based at Mid-Kent College in Maidstone. This event was a great opportunity for us to see how much apprenticeships are being encouraged and will have positive outcomes for both apprentices and employers. Students were invited to come along so that Mid-Kent and Amac Training could show the range of Apprenticeships available in different sectors and progression routes to potential apprentices.

Over the coming weeks we will be holding award ceremonies for apprentices that have finished their apprenticeships in Instructing Exercise and Fitness and Activity Leadership. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the following companies for their support by giving these apprentices the opportunity to gain work experience within their chosen qualification:

Medway Park, Larkfield Leisure Centre, Lordswood Leisure Centre, Knowle Grange, Smeeth Afterschool Club, Strood Leisure Centre, Pulse Fitness, Pent Valley Technology School, Hayesbrook School, Kingsmead Leisure Centre, Folkestone Academy, Sandwich Leisure Centre and Ramsgate Sport & Leisure Centre.

Students from the Hayesbrook and Medway groups receiving their certificates at the Apprenticeship Award Ceremony last week.

Please see the video clip by 2 successful Apprentices in Kent.
