GUIDE TO LEVELS CHOOSING YOUR COURSE If you are not sure which course is right for you; take a look at the chart on the pages 8-9. Calderdale College has a set of standard entry requirements but never be deterred by the lack of formal qualifications or by not meeting the entry requirements. Apply for the course you want to study and we will help you get there. In many cases and for a variety of reasons entry requirements can be waived at the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discretion. There are a lot of courses available - work focused, practical or academic, so it is important to think about the future - whether you want to proceed to university, move onto another course or get a job. If you are still not sure, do not worry, just speak to one of the Advice and Guidance Team and we will help to advise you. Call Advice and Guidance Team on 01422 399367.

QUALIFICATIONS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? What are BTECs? BTECs are vocational and occupationally relevant courses which help you gain knowledge and vocationally specific skills. They are well recognised by employers and universities. Achieving a BTEC National Qualification over 2 years is the equivalent of doing 3 A Levels Grade A-E. Achieving a BTEC First is

Intro Section.indd 3

the equivalent of doing 5 GCSEs Grade A*-C. Achieving a BTEC Introductory Diploma is the equivalent of 5 GCSEs Grades D-G. All courses are primarily taught through assignment work and case studies and are tested through assignments and time-limited assessments. BTEC Awards and Certificates are accreditation for completing some units but not the full Diploma.

What are Functional Skills? When asked, employers and universities tell us how important it is for people to have good skills in Maths & English, and information communication technology skills, as well as being able to work in teams and solve problems. This is why these Functional Skills are an important part of your course and why all our students work on improving these skills, and gaining Functional Skills qualifications whilst they are following their vocational learning programme. The level of Functional Skills you follow will be decided using your GCSE results and the initial assessment and diagnostic carried out during Induction when you join the College. Like all classes in College, attendance at Functional Skills classes is a requirement to prepare you to pass the Functional Skills tests.

GCSEs in English and Maths are available in College as part of your vocational programme. You may have the opportunity to re-sit your GCSEs depending on your grades and initial assessment result carried out at interview/induction. Every student will have a personal tutor and follow a personal tutorial programme. For those who wish to progress to university, Functional Skills contribute UCAS points that are recognised in all universities.

What are NVQs? NVQs are job-specific, competence based qualifications. NVQs reflect the skills and knowledge needed to do a job effectively. They are available to anyone, at any age or stage of their career development. The central feature of NVQs is the National Occupational Standards (NOS) on which they are based. NOS are statements of performance standards that describe what competent people in a particular occupation are expected to be able to do. They cover all the main aspects of an occupation, including current best practice, the ability to adapt to future requirements, and the knowledge and understanding that underpins competent performance.

GUIDE TO LEVELS What are Apprenticeships? Young people aged between 16 and 24 can earn while they learn on an Apprenticeship; there is a wide range of training opportunities to suit your ability and job preferences. By working to a structured training plan and gaining work experience you will achieve an Apprenticeship framework that reflects your ability. Functional Skills are a requirement for an Apprenticeship framework and an expectation within other courses. If you have not achieved GCSE Grades C or above in English, Maths or ICT then you will work on these skills, with help from your vocational tutor, so that you achieve at least a Level 2 in all areas. This is the level required to be effective in work and to access higher level courses.

What is a Traineeship? A Traineeship is a programme of study and work experience that supports young people to develop the skills for an Apprenticeship and/ or employment. They are most suited to young people who are not employed, have little work experience and who are focussed on getting a job. Traineeships include: » Work preparation training including CV writing, interview techniques and team working » English and Maths » High quality work placement

What does the raising of the participation age mean to me? It is now compulsory that young people stay in some form of education or training until age 18 but this can include going to College, so if staying on at school isn’t for you then why not come to the College instead?

What are VRQs VRQs are practical courses that are usually assessed by tests and course work. They are available in work related subjects such as Hairdressing, and are more job specific than other qualifications. Whilst studying a VRQ you will gain knowledge, understanding and skills for a broad area of work or range of jobs.

Special entry requirements: Some courses require special entry requirements, such as: A Criminal Records Bureau Enhanced Disclosure (CRB), references, the completion of a dexterity test, attainment in a pre-course diagnostic assessment, including testing (for 24 etc), for you to be in training in a job or be successful at an audition or interview. The Admissions team can help you identify whether you meet the

Inspiring Learners To Succeed In Life & In Work Intro Section.indd 4

entry requirements and the College can advise prior to an Admissions event, what evidence may be required. Should you be interviewed at an admissions event and not be successful in receiving an offer for the course you applied for, you will be directed onto an alternative level that will prepare you to progress.

It is a rewarding profession that involves the care, welfare, handling, health, behaviour and accommodation of a variety of animals.

Science encompasses a vast area, it is not just about finding cures for diseases, but includes the environment, technology, manufacturing and space travel to name a few. It is a field that continues to grow and expand at a rapid pace. Revolutionary scientists such as Darwin, Einstein and Newton have paved the way for new generations of theorists and practitioners whose dedication has contributed to the development and popularity of the industry. If you would like to pursue a challenging, active, diverse and rewarding career in Horticulture or Animal Care then Calderdale College can provide the skills and training to prepare you for the path ahead. Courses involve academic and physical activity, the opportunity to take part in extra curricular activities such as Duke of Edinburgh, expeditions, guest speakers and external visits such as Southfields Farm for those wishing to study Animal Care and residential site visits for Land-based Studies.

Employer testimonial Boss Training was established in 2005 and 8 years later are now one of the leading providers in the UK of PASMA (scaffold tower) training, IPAF training (scissor lift and cherry pickers) and UKATA (asbestos awareness) training. Boss Training successfully operates nationwide and are continually looking for new ways to develop. The College assisted Andrew Murphy (Director) in hiring two Apprentices to look after Business Administration and Customer Service. Three years later both Apprentices are full time employees at the company. Andrew has already recommended the scheme to other training providers and genuinely believes the Apprenticeship scheme benefits both the employer and employee: “I actually recommended the Apprenticeship scheme to another training provider in Wakefield about 18 months ago. It is a testament to them both that they have done so well and are still here making progress.”

Trudy Peters, former Level 2 Business Administration student from Halifax carried out her Apprenticeship between 2010 and 2011 at Boss Training. She has since taken up a full time position within the company: “I am still here and I am still learning new things every day. It has been brilliant.” Trudy sums up her Apprenticeship as: “Exciting, brilliant and absolutely fantastic.” It has meant that she was able gain the qualifications and skills required to change and progress in her new career. Jenna Schofield former Level 2 Customer Service student from Brighouse completed her 1 year course in just under 9 months. Jenna describes how she discovered the Apprenticeship: “I just had my little girl; I had been applying for jobs left, right and centre and then I applied for a job and found it was actually part of the Apprenticeship scheme. I went for the interview and found that I had actually already worked within a company

that did something similar and was offered the position straight away.” Undertaking the Apprenticeship meant a great deal to Jenna who describes the rewarding nature of her training: “It was absolutely awesome. For me it was like my last chance at being able to do something. The whole reason for me doing it was to progress and get one step further which absolutely changed everything for me.” Jenna highly recommends undertaking an Apprenticeship – especially with the extra support both the College and Boss Training have provided throughout the process: “Just do it! It’s probably one of the best moves I have made.”

BUILDING SERVICES & SUSTAINABILITY Your first step towards a successful career as a Building Services Engineer is to understand the importance of your role within the most vibrant, energetic and fast paced sector in Engineering.

automatically run your bath to use the minimum amount of hot water (triggered when your alarm clock rings) are becoming commonplace and you will be educated to become ‘installation-ready’.

You have the power to effect change on a truly global scale and contribute to a lower carbon environment by becoming part of the booming green jobs market.

Our commitment is to prepare you to enter employment and be able to contribute effectively as part of a team or to start your own business and lead an ethical and dynamic company. To prepare you for the workplace we will help you develop your core subject understanding in Mathematics, English, Business, Enterprise and the Sciences by contextualising these disciplines in meaningful experiential projects.

At the cutting edge of renewable and sustainable technologies in our £7 million state-of-the-art centre you will be exposed to the latest engineering developments and learn time-honoured installation practices and theory. Whilst gaining the skills of a Building Services Engineer you will learn how domestic wiring and hot/cold water systems function and the most efficient ways of installing these safely. As you gain confidence you will be supported in using your new found skills to make sense of more intensive projects; such as learning how to design, build and commission commercial and industrial type systems. We use a range of methods and teaching environments. You will experience ‘hands-on’ learning, classrooms teaching, electrical and plumbing workshops and placements on real life installation sites in the local community. The knowledge you will gain of Solar Photovoltaic, Solar Thermal, Ground and Air Source Heat Pumps, Rain Water Harvesting and Wind Generation means you will be able to offer a wealth of options to your client and help them decide the most suitable technologies you should install. Intelligent home control systems that open your curtains in the morning (to encourage the use of natural light) that turn the hi-fi down when you get a call and pumps and sensors that

Lessons are designed so that you are gaining wider skills whilst you focus on your engineering studies. Due to the great emphasis given to your core skills by industry we will work hard to provide you with all the support you need to get these to the level you need, with some students able to access extra tuition to develop their Math’s and English. Key to your future successes will be remembering the positive implications that your work has; how a single ‘green’ installation forms part of the wider environment and the impact that the installation of low carbon and intelligent technologies can have in reducing emissions, the householder’s expenditure on energy and reduction of the Earth’s pollution. The mission of the Building Services team at Calderdale College is to help nurture a generation of engineers who have the skills, passion and inspiration to take responsibility for the sustainability of the community in which they work and the world in which they live.

Qualification Preparation for Employment in the Construction Industries QCF Level 1

What will I study? If you want a rewarding career as a professional Electrician then this course will give you the hands-on skills you need to get started and will introduce the principles behind the most technical and exciting occupation within the construction industries.

What will I study? Need some practical experience to make a career decision? This is a short introductory qualification that provides theory and practical experience in electrical and plumbing.

At least half of the course will be spent carrying out practical tasks in the workshop that are carefully designed so that you are learning the principals of electrical engineering whilst you are working with your hands. This means that you will see why the Maths and Science is important because as your theory skills improve, so will your practical ability. Remember, that we cannot see, touch, taste, hear or smell electricity so you need to be able to explain how it works and why it behaves in certain ways. Your understanding of the formulae and theories will make you a better engineer, able to design systems, install them and then commission them.

You will find out what you enjoy, and get a head start on your next qualification, helping you move on to a career. This qualification is for people thinking about a career in building services engineering, perhaps working as an electrician or a plumber. Moving on You could progress on to the Electrical NVQ Diploma (2357) with further study available such as the new 17th Edition Wiring Regulations, C&G 2399 PV Installation and C&G 2394/5 Inspection & Testing.

Moving on When you achieve your Level 1 qualification there is a wide range of routes open to you. We have designed the course with City & Guilds to make sure that if there is one part of the course that you really enjoyed you will have the entrance criteria to begin to specialise and become an expert in that particular aspect. This is the first step to becoming a fully qualified Electrician and for some students it is the first part of the path that leads to University and Higher Education.

BUSINESS, TRAVEL & TOURISM We may not realise it but business is part of our everyday lives; whether it is buying a sandwich at lunchtime from a local shop or a new item of clothing from a chain store at the weekend. Businesses can vary in size, capacity and type but each one, to some extent, depends on another. A common factor is that the success of these businesses depends on, not only the understanding of how businesses work but also organisation and team work. Business is not only about buying and selling but incorporates information technology, managing people, marketing, finance and human resources. These factors are essential to any business or company, as is the understanding on how external influences effect their running. The growth of the communication industry, particularly email, has played a major role in how businesses operate. Multi-nationals can now locate in a given market place in order to adapt to local changes in supply and demand, but still remain in constant contact with other offices throughout the world. Travel and Tourism is not only one of the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest growing sectors but also one of the most exciting and vibrant. Working in this industry provides endless opportunities, from travelling the world as an air steward, finding someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream holiday or progressing through the ranks to become a top manager. If you have ingenuity, determination, enjoy working with people and have a confident personality then this is the right area for you. Courses range from beginner to advanced with each providing the practical knowledge and experience for you to succeed.

COMPUTING â&#x20AC;&#x153;An electronic version of the brainâ&#x20AC;?. The concept of the first machines that we now know as the computer was developed in the early 1940s. These machines could do one thing at a time, known as a Floating Operating Point per Second (FLOPS). Move forward to the year 2013, the PlayStation 3 (Due to be replaced with a next generation console in the next 2 years) handles over 218 gigaFLOPS. Likewise supercomputers used by the military run over 500 trillion floating point operations per second. In seventy years the standard for computers has improved over the original by over 5,000 trillion times. At no point in the history of human technology has any field evolved as quickly and dramatically as computing. The field only continues to grow and becomes not only a part of our day-to-day lives, but a necessity for millions of people every day. The wonderful science fiction stories of the past are becoming the reality today. In a field that is constantly evolving, people look to a new generation of students to learn and develop the skills to continue its development and integration into the future and how computing is changing the way we think, communicate and live our lives every single day. If you would like to become a part of the most exciting, dynamic and evolving field in the world, then computing is for you. You will require the confidence to work with computers to your (and their) full potential, the dedication to continue developing your skills in lifelong learning, and an inquisitive mind to the world of computing as it develops around you and your abilities in the computing field as well as elsewhere.

CONSTRUCTION & HORTICULTURE Construction has been a cornerstone of the British economy for centuries and it shows no sign of losing its value. There will always be a need for new buildings whether they are homes, offices or community projects. For every development undertaken, each one requires trades people to build, insulate, plumb, heat, wire and decorate. In relation to industry this means employers are increasingly seeking out skilled crafts people to ensure quality and the ability to work to deadlines. However the desire to improve living and working environments is also a growing area as demonstrated by the surge of home improvement centres. Whether you wish to learn new skills or develop existing capabilities as a career or a hobby these courses are taught by experienced professionals from each sector of the industry. The Development of new technology, including the media, has had an impact on learning as the industry responds to demand for improved efficiency and presentation. Such expectations have been encouraged by makeover television shows and glossy magazines which discourage basic dĂŠcor and utilities in favour of specialist techniques, under floor heating and the return of traditional wood furniture.

These changes have expanded the opportunities for learning new and invaluable skills in all sectors of the industry. There is also an increasing demand for technician and professional skills to meet the needs of a wide range of services including, Planning, Building Control, Estimating and Design.

The new Construction and the Built Environment Diplomas at Levels 1, 2 and 3 provide opportunities for individuals to progress into these industries or onto higher education. Construction covers a vast area of techniques from brickwork to plastering, wood occupations to painting and decorating and electrical to plumbing. Each one of these individual areas is supported at the College and has continued to grow in popularity and achievement. There are courses which start at a very basic level progressing up to advanced whereby you can learn a variety of techniques and skills involving both practical and theoretical sessions. All courses are vocational which means you benefit from working in two learning environments. For experienced bricklayers, carpenters, joiners, electricians and plumbers who are in employment we offer qualifications that allow assessment to take place on site with no need to take time out of work. Electricians with a Level 3 technical certificate can top-up with an NVQ and AM2 and get a gold J.I.B. card. Horticulture is the industry and science of plant cultivation, including the process of preparing soil for the planting of seeds, tubers, or cuttings. The courses we offer provide an excellent opportunity for you to develop your skills as a horticulturist and will allow you to manage the propagation, planting, growth of plant species, landscaping and the experiences that you will gain would enable you to develop a career in this area of work.

HAIR, BEAUTY, NAIL SERVICES & COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES Treating yourself to a pamper day or a visit to a health spa used to be a luxury that few could afford, yet the popularity of having a relaxing treatment has become more accessible in recent years. The global interest in looking good has been reflected in the growth of hair and beauty salons in towns and cities across the country. Bringing services to the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doorstep has been a key factor in the success of the industry, as treatments can be arranged around peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasingly hectic schedules. Choosing a career in this industry certainly has its benefits, it is a rewarding and satisfying profession full of opportunities at home and abroad in an increasingly global market. In the United Kingdom we now spend more time and money on looking good than ever before as people become more aware of their appearance and wellbeing. With role models such as Trevor Sorbie, Charles Worthington and Nicky Clarke, hairdressers are perceived as trendy professionals with the ability to create innovative styles with a splash of colour and a snip of the scissors. Similarly the development and expansion of beauty products has led to a boom in their manufacture with the average person using a minimum of five products in their daily cleansing routine. If you have a creative flair, determination, enjoy working with people and have a confident personality then this is the right area for you. Programmes are taught by current, professionals who have and continue to work in the industry, thus allowing students to take full advantage of this experience. Our courses are hands-on and offer you the opportunity to work in two learning environments. If you are already working in the industry and looking to advance your skills the College provides qualifications so that you can earn while you learn.

HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE Whatever age you are there is a good chance that you have been in contact with a member of the health and social industry. This sector cares for people from young children to adolescentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right through to old age. Employees often have to have a flexible approach to work and patience, and confidence to adapt to sometimes difficult circumstances. Although there are approximately 2 million people employed in the British health sector this figure is set to rise as a direct response of the increasing population. Social care is not just about being a carer or social worker as it encompasses virtually any profession that helps people overcome difficulties in their life. This may mean care provision at a certain stage in somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life or as a direct response to a specific obstacle resulting from a change of lifestyle, physical capability or environment. Each client has their own set of needs and expectations, therefore it is essential that workers are able to communicate to ensure a high level of service. If you are a caring person who likes working with a variety of people in different age groups and would like a rewarding career in health and social care then look no further. Calderdale College offers a variety of courses from introductory to advanced covering the four key elements of health and social care: adult social care, children and young people, community justice and health. You will have the benefit of studying in a variety of learning environments undertaking placements and educational visits.

SPORTS

PUBLIC SERVICES

With the London Olympics and the announcement of England to host the Rugby World Cup in 2015 sport is more popular than ever. Investment into new facilities, coaching programmes, education and technology has aided in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved success rates.

The Public Services are the bedrock of society, the economy, the government and for improving the populationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life. Working in the Public Services is an active, and in some cases, physically demanding role requiring employees to attain a specified fitness level. Although a healthy lifestyle is important, the ability to understand and interpret laws and data as well as work in the local community are key elements.

Many sporting successes have been founded through excellent community and grass root programmes that develop young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health, fitness and interpersonal skills. The majority of these programmes demand skilful and enthusiastic staff to deliver these programmes, to not only help achieve the objective of developing the next sporting star but also to increase the general health of a nation. Sport and physical exercise is promoted throughout the educational system with a dual-purpose of engaging youngsters with a variety of individual and team sports, coupled with the knowledge of the nutritional and health benefits. Sport is not all about becoming a professional; many people take part simply to maintain a healthy lifestyle, or to learn key traits such as teamwork and problem solving which can be easily transferred to any profession.

The services include Fire and Rescue, Ambulance Service, Police Service, Prison Service, the Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. Each branch involves a high level of interpersonal skills such as teamwork, leadership and communication which are easily transferable and desirable to any employer. Any career in these services offers plenty of opportunities for further development and travel should you decide to enter the military.

If you would like to pursue an active course which involves both practical and theoretical elements, a chance to plan and lead activities, or learn about the psychological performance in professional sports people then look no further. Courses range from beginner to advanced, offering opportunities for further training, education and employment whilst utilising the brand new sporting facilities located in the Inspire Centre.

EQUALITY & DIVERSITY EQUALITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION AT CALDERDALE COLLEGE The College is committed to ensuring that everyone is treated fairly regardless of their Protected characteristic. Our College values include treating everyone with respect, dignity, fairness and openness. In April this year, the College was reaccredited with the highly prized Investors in Diversity Level 2 quality mark following a two-and-a-halfday assessment. The Award recognises the College’s commitment to embedding equality and diversity into everything it does and is a great achievement for staff who have worked hard over the last four years to develop and implement their strategic plans. In the assessment report, the National Centre for Diversity assessor highlighted the following points: The College continues to embed its written commitment to EDI... “Through its values which are well publicised both on the website and around the College buildings on posters. Beyond the values the

231

College continues its written commitment ensuring EDI messages are communicated through a number of on-going media in particularly the SAR (self-assessment review) and the PSED (Public Sector Equality Duty) objectives which have been published. The College is part of the West Yorkshire stakeholders group that discusses community issues and the Leadership team have proven to be tireless in their drive to support the community lead by the Principal. …The above commitment was demonstrated with 90% of staff agreeing or strongly agreeing that the organisation has an Equality and Diversity strategy and policies that are in place understood and followed. Additionally a selection of quotes taken from interviews and shared in my report indicates that staff at all levels have a strong sense of shared ownership of EDI.” Continuing development of learning opportunities “…The college has continued to develop learning opportunities for its staff and student groups through informal channels such as festivals and enrichment and the range of formal training for staff has been developed and refreshed. This has resulted in very positive feedback; during interviews staff clearly appreciated the fresh approach and described the College as “pro-active as opposed to reactive.”

Excellent engagement with stakeholders “…The College is excellent at engaging with its stakeholders and does not solely make decisions top down. This was apparent through the various staff and student forums that I observed as part of the review. Investment in Assistive Technology also highlights the College as a Leader in this area compared with the majority of IID organisations; this has resulted in very positive survey returns both from staff and students.” A high percentage of staff and students felt that the College was good to outstanding at preventing and tackling any form of bullying harassment or discrimination. “…Whilst I know the College will always strive to improve these perceptions it should be noted that statistically this compares favourably with our other IID organisations and the College’s policy on this is driving them towards a Leadership position.”

Final summary “…Calderdale College has notably Advanced Equality of Opportunity for its key stakeholder groups since the original review and this has been borne out through an increase in the sense of value and respect in the survey results. Also the transparency of the Colleges EDI related action plans and quality improvement plans is outstanding indicating that they are an organisation who seek to improve at every opportunity. Advancing equality of opportunity between different groups, indicated through additional learning support success rates of 97% was recognised as outstanding by OFSTED.” “I have every confidence that the College will be determined to continue to strive for improvement as they have done previously and should seriously consider the value in working towards the Leaders in Diversity standard. Congratulations and I look forward to working with you in the future.” National Centre for Diversity Assessor

FAQ – ALL THE ANSWERS

Inspiring Learners To Succeed In Life & In Work

238

FAQ – ALL THE ANSWERS WHAT IS FURTHER EDUCATION? Further education is the study you continue after you have left school at 16. The qualifications you pursue can be at any Level and are largely designed as an alternative to a traditional, academic A Level route to university or employment. Taught by professionals with up-todate experience in specific fields, the subject matter can range from Construction Skills to Hairdressing, Beauty, Holistic Therapies, Design, Acting, Dancing, Sport, Science, Health, Childcare, Law, Business, Computing and so on.

WILL IT COST ME ANYTHING TO STUDY? If you’re between 16 and 18, and from an EU country (including the UK), your fees are paid. If you are 19 or over, Contact Advice and Guidance for details.

HOW & WHEN SHOULD I APPLY? Apply as soon as you know what you want to do. Some courses are really popular and will fill up quickly. Complete and return the application form at the back of this prospectus or apply online at www. calderdale.ac.uk. After that we will arrange an interview for you to find out if the course is suitable for you. If successful we’ll offer you a place—sometimes conditional upon grades you get in your exams.

239

FAQ.indd 239

WHAT ARE TUTORIALS? The purpose of the tutorial system is to make sure you get the most out of your time at College and to support your learning. Your development is regularly reviewed. You also have group tutorials to cover personal development, careers education and action planning. You will regularly review your own progress through self-review and with your Personal Tutor, allowing you to set objectives to help you to achieve your goals. Your personal tutorials will also help you develop your CV, consider career or university options and develop your ability to assess your own performance.

WILL I GET HOMEWORK? We expect you to take more responsibility for your own learning than you may have been used to and to spend time while at College working on assignments on your own or in small groups. Although depending on what you are studying, not all self-guided learning will be of an academic nature. You may need to spend some ‘homework’ time researching on the internet or working in College on a particular project. For instance, Performing Arts students may want to rehearse outside of normal course hours. The more work you do at College, the less you’ll need to do at home!

HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED TO COME TO COLLEGE? It really depends on your course, but most full time students will be in College a maximum of four days per week. The timetables allow time for personal study and also for part time jobs, which we know are important. It is also important that you attend College regularly and your tutors will monitor attendance to help keep you on track with your studies. In some areas, especially academies, attendance determines your access to additional enrichment programmes.

CAN I WORK PART TIME AS WELL AS STUDY FULL TIME AT COLLEGE? Yes, we appreciate that students sometimes need to support themselves financially with part time jobs. We would recommend working no more than 10 hours per week alongside full time study. Students who find themselves in financial difficulties can get confidential advice on financial assistance from Advice and Guidance.

WHAT DO YOUR STUDENTS DO WHEN THEY HAVE FINISHED THEIR COURSE? Many students go on to university or further study here at Calderdale College, or into successful careers in their chosen field. In some subject areas you can study right up to

FAQ â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ALL THE ANSWERS Degree Level at Calderdale College, degrees are awarded by partner universities, Bradford University, Huddersfield University and Leeds Metropolitan University.

WHAT IF I DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T GET THE GRADES? We have courses at all levels so we should be able to help you find a suitable course. If we make you an offer and you do not achieve the grades you need, you will be able to discuss your options at your enrolment session or you can come to our Results Day Service. Our services are open to anyone on GCSE and A Levels results days for advice and guidance.

WHAT IF I NEED EXTRA SUPPORT? Once at College you will be allocated a Personal Tutor, who will get to know you and will be your first port of call for support. Specialist staff and resources such as counsellors, learning support tutors and careers advisors are available to give you whatever support you need. Individual needs can differ greatly and we work hard to help you to overcome your personal challenges, be they physical or medical or should they involve emotional and mental health. If you need it we will organise support you can rely on, by liaising with friends, family, professionals

or organisations to help you make the most of your time at College. If you have a disability, a medical condition, or a learning difficulty it would be really helpful for us to know, then we can identify and support any needs or requirements you might have in relation to study or attending College for courses or interview/assessment. You can tell us on your application form of anything you think might be relevant. Anything you tell us in relation to your support requirements will not affect your chances of acceptance on a course and will be treated in the strictest confidence. The College is committed to supporting its students and spends substantial amounts of its funding on student support, helping students receiving support in the last academic year to achieve a 98% achievement rate.

WHAT IS A STUDY PROGRAMME? All 16-19 year old students are enrolled onto a Study programme which in addition to the main course includes other activities that develop the broader skills you will need to progress into a job, further study or self-employment. These activities include the development of study skills including English and Maths, work preparation and enterprise.

PARENTS, CARERS & GUARDIANS DECIDING ON THE RIGHT CAREER PATH There are several choices open to young people today to allow them to get on the right career path. Further education colleges like Calderdale College provide courses to young people, which fulfil many functions. They can provide a progression route to university, provide training to allow entry into employment, or provide work-based learning options. The programme of study or route a young person takes could be influenced by how they prefer to learn. Obviously, we are most successful when we really enjoy what we are learning. We all need to believe in ourselves and feel confident to be motivated to learn. We all need the support of our families, friends and mentors (such as school teachers and careers advisors) to make the right choice and succeed at what we choose to study or work at. We all have different styles that suit us best, whether it is workbased learning or practical, vocational courses. Some courses are assessed through exams, which allow some people to perform, and some are assessed through coursework, which allows others to shine. Some practical assessments allow students to demonstrate skills learnt in a realistic working

243

Parents & Carers.indd 243

environment, some involve collecting portfolios of evidence to assess occupational standards demonstrated and met by students. The College has invested heavily to provide the most up-to-date and industry relevant facilities to provide young people with the right skills. Work-based learning is transforming the job market – Apprenticeships mean that employers can influence the skills young people develop and bring with them into the job market. Calderdale College is well-placed to respond to employers needs, being a work-based learning provider and a further education college, we have an insight into what employers want and can teach young people up-to-date and valuable skills to give them the edge in an increasingly global and competitive job market. Study on a vocational course at College or as an Apprentice develops your life skills, developing social awareness, confidence, team working and entrepreneurial skills as part of the curriculum offered.

PASTORAL CARE Students are supported during their time at College in a variety of ways. They have an entitlement to a personal tutor and meet regularly in group and individual tutorials to review their progress.

Raising the Participation Age (RPA) This is a new requirement which has increased the minimum age that young people can leave learning. From this year, September 2013, all young people have a duty to participate in education or training until the end of the academic year in which they turn 17. This duty will rise to 18 in 2015. Raising the participation age doesn’t mean that young people must stay in school but allows them to choose the most suitable option. Options can vary from: » A full time course at College » Work-based learning such as an Apprenticeship » Part time education or training if combined with at least 20 hours per week of employment or voluntary work.

Pastoral Care and support Calderdale College encourages all parents, carers and guardians to get involved in the learning of their daughter or son. You are welcome to visit us at any time to find out what happens at the College. Whilst we want all students to understand that we respect them as individuals and we will respect and treat them as individuals. We also recognise and value the necessity to work with parents and carers where the student is still dependant on family

PARENTS, CARERS & GUARDIANS support and we encourage parents to make contact with the College if they have any issues they would like to raise. Students are supported during their time at College in a variety of ways. All students will be allocated a personal tutor and meet regularly in group and individual tutorials to review their progress. Parent and carers will receive a written progress review twice a year and be invited to attend a parent/carer event during December and April.
