What happens if you accept a CAO offer and then want to cancel?

    I have applied for a plc and this morning I got a level 7 offer. Now while I would like both courses, I would probably be more lending towards the plc. I know however there's obviously a chance I may not get accepted, hence why I don't want to reject my CAO offer(which I haven't accepted yet) because then I will be left with nothing. My interview is on the 27th and I have until the 25th to accept my offer. Any advice? Don't know what to do :/

    If you accept the course and then pull out a few days later, you won't have to pay fees so it's not a big deal really.

    Accept the course if you would be happy doing it, if you don't get the PLC course.

    Ah ok :) so if I accepted today and got the plc on the 27th,would I be ok to cancel? I thought I'd ask on here to make sure as someone told me to double check as the college might take action against me for cancelling... :p

    (correct me if I'm wrong) I think you can cancel after accepting, that's why there's a round 2 in the CAO - so other people can take the places on courses of people who pulled out.
    Best thing to do would be to ring the CAO themselves and ask.
