  - You can enrol over the telephone for most courses (please enquire when you telephone to check for availability) – ensure you have your debit/credit card ready to make your payment and an enrolment pack will be sent to you.
  - Call personally into the college to enrol.
  Cheques are accepted and should be made payable to Aquinas College. You can also pay with cash, a credit card or debit card (not American Express).
