Our courses at a glance
In addition to a vocational course, 16-18s can study English and Maths alongside their chosen course if necessary. This is usually done when the student has not achieved a grade 4 at GCSE or equivalent. For example, a student studying Level 2 Engineering could take GCSE maths or Numeracy Functional Skills alongside this course. We also offer various degree-level courses and professional qualifications for adults that students can progress onto. Our careers advisors are on hand to help with UCAS applications and give career advice to ensure every student gets onto the right course for them.

- Level 3 - 4 GCSEs at grade 9-4 (A*-C), including English and Maths, or a Level 2 qualification (Merit or Distinction) in a related subject.

Work experience
Taking on a student for work experience can significantly benefit your business. Work experience students have industry-related knowledge from their vocational studies and can provide useful capacity on projects and tasks. They often bring fresh ideas and approaches you may have yet to consider, as well as skills in social media that can deliver a real business benefit. Managing and supporting a work-experience student can also be an opportunity within the business for staff wanting to take on a supervisory role in the future.
