COMBINE FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT WITH PART-TIME STUDY

WHAT IS CLASSED AS STUDYING FULL-TIME? Full-time study after the age of 16 doesn’t necessarily mean five days a week. Students may be in College only a few days per week which allows them spare time for self directed studying, pursuing hobbies or even part-time work.

WHY CAN’T I JUST GET A FULL-TIME JOB? You will still be able to work full-time if you wish. Getting a job after leaving school is a great next step and the Government want to help make young people as employable as possible. However, evidence is clear that if you want to work, the best thing for your future is to do some further training or study alongside that. You will need to be working 20 hours or more a week and undertaking part-time training which leads to an accredited qualification. An Apprenticeship route may offer the ideal balance between work and study.

WHY IS THIS CHANGE BEING MADE? All young people should be given the opportunity to develop the skills they need for adult life and allow them to achieve their full potential. Participating in learning for longer means that young people are more likely to get the skills and qualifications that will open doors for future employment and help them make the most of their potential and earn more over their lifetime.

INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND CARERS As a parent/carer you want the best for your child(ren) and you want to help them make the choices that are right for them. Download our myth buster fact sheet to find out more details about how the changes will affect your family.

COURSES FOR REAL CAREERS

Our 2013 Ofsted inspection recognised the College for:

This Guide highlights Central’s range of vocational qualifications, but what are vocational qualifications? Vocational qualifications are all about the world of work and cover a range of jobs, industries and professions. The good news is, that going forward even more employers will be looking to recruit people with these skills. In fact, nine out of the 10 most in-demand occupations of the future could be open to you if you have vocational qualifications.

“The good support that learners receive to help them progress to further learning or employment.”

Even more good news is that many employers view 17 to 18-year-old college leavers as better-prepared for work than school leavers of the same age. At Central we want to make sure they’re right; We’re committed to ensuring our students are ready to get that job and start work. The ways we do this include: •

Offering courses that meet the needs of industry: we constantly work with businesses and relevant organisations so our courses are up to date and we’re providing you with the skills and knowledge employers are looking for in their future employees.

•

Giving you hands-on experience while you’re on your course: whether you’re on an academic programme or a more practical course, you’ll get to work on industry-relevant projects, developing a wider set of skills we know employers value.

•

Investing in industry standard training facilities: from our commercially run hair and beauty salons and car service centre to kitchens at Trent Bridge, and an extensive fabrication and welding centre and new photography studios, to a real aircraft cabin interior - we make sure you’re training with the equipment you’ll be using in the workplace.

•

Having tutors who have worked in industry: you’ll find most of your tutors have years of experience working in the trade or business you’re learning, and started out just like you. They’ll give you valuable industry insights, as well as teaching you the skills and knowledge you need.

•

Helping you to develop social skills and confidence: as a Central student you’ll be able to join a range of groups for trips and activities, take part in inter-college or even national competitions, and learn in an environment that supports your personal as well as academic development.

I always looked forward to my days at Central. There was a great atmosphere and I always came away with new knowledge. The tutors have industry backgrounds so they can relate what they’re teaching you to real situations in the workplace – and they’re very good at getting the information across in an understandable way. I’m enjoying my job and plan to keep studying until I get my degree.

TUTORS WERE ALWAYS AVAILABLE WHENEVER I NEEDED HELP Manzar, 34, was working and bringing up a family, but decided he wanted to retrain to be a Nurse. He didn’t have the right qualifications, so completed a Pre-Access course and then an Access to Higher Education Diploma - Nursing course and as a result now has a place at De Montfort University to study Nursing.

to HE programme we may be able to offer you a Pre-Access programme. This allows students to study three GCSEs in English, Maths and Sociology and will prepare you for the Access to HE programme.

He said: “Going back to college after a long break was a challenge, especially with a young family – but Central staff and my family were really supportive. Tutors were always available whenever I needed help.”

Please be aware that most universities require GCSE English and Maths at grade A*-C for entry. Additionally, GCSE Science is often required for Primary Education courses.

“The Access course teaches you the essential skills you’ll need to progress to university. It’s challenging yes, but if you want to build strong foundations for your degree, this is the right course.”

The structure of the BTEC Extended Diploma in Art and Design offered her an option to focus on one subject in a lot more detail, instead of having to split over three or more subjects at A Level. She got a place on the course, and found herself completely immersed in doing art every day and loving it.

Our end of year shows will enable you to exhibit your work at Central and at prime Nottingham venues. Many of our previous students have won awards and your tutors will support you to submit your work and enter competitions regionally, nationally and internationally.

Holly was doing quite well at school, but decided that a better option for her would be to choose a vocational qualification and join Central.

Since then she’s gone from strength to strength, and in 2015 she won a prize in Nottingham’s Young Creative Awards for her bowls inspired by the travels of the poet Lord Byron. Holly said: “Although you still work hard, the BTEC is something you can keep building on without all the focus being on just the end goal. For me, it was a much better way to go and I’d recommend a vocational qualification to anyone. I think for art especially, it’s a great route to university. The College’s facilities are really good and the tutors are so supportive!”

I’m now a Customer Service Representative for Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd and I love my job. All aspects of my course and College experience were great but my group worked on a project with a local company, putting together and managing a promotional campaign for a new product. This developed my skills and confidence, which I know had a direct impact in helping me to stand out at my interview and get my job.

ADDITIONAL LEARNING SUPPORT FOR FE STUDENTS We have a large team of specialist tutors and provide a variety of methods of support for students with additional needs. Students with physical disabilities, mobility problems, hearing and sight impairment, dyslexia and other needs can rely on professional and dedicated support. We will endeavour to provide support staff, adapted facilities and specialist equipment at all times.

supporting ENGLISH & MATHS EQUALITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION At Central College Nottingham you have a right to be treated with respect and dignity during your time with us as a learner, member of staff, visitor or service user. To achieve this the College will ensure that you are not treated unfairly for reasons which cannot be legitimately justified. Central College Nottingham is proud of and values the contributions made by the rich diversity of all who work and learn here. It is our aim to provide an inclusive working and learning environment where everyone in the College community is fully respected and supported. In January 2014 the College was awarded the ‘Investors in Diversity’ accreditation in recognition of its commitment to embracing and celebrating the values of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI).

It’s now a government requirement for full-time students under 18 to continue studying English and Maths if they do not have a GCSE grade C or above. If you have left school without these qualifications, we’ll help you achieve them alongside your full-time course, by putting in place an English and Maths programme based on your existing skills. These subjects are also an essential part of helping you succeed, and are key employability skills that businesses look for. FUNCTIONAL SKILLS Many academic and vocational qualifications are only indicators of an individual’s ability in a specific specialist area, whereas Functional Skills are the generic skills of English and Maths that are important in everything that we do: • at school • at college • at work • at home • in preparing for university • If you have not previously achieved GCSE Maths and/or English at A*-C and GCSEs are not appropriate for you at this stage, the more practical, applied Functional Skills will be included in your programme of study. In a highly competitive world, Functional Skills and a higher grade GCSE can be those extra qualifications that tip the balance in your favour when applying for a job or a university place. Functional Skills and GCSE qualifications are evidence for your CV that you can compete with the best. GCSE Once you have achieved Level 2 Functional skills English and Maths the progression is to GCSE. Our aim is to ensure that you have achieved GCSE Maths and/or English at A*-C when you move on to employment or Higher Education. 369

aged 24+ BUT STILL WANT TO STUDY? In August 2013, the government introduced student loans for all students aged 24 and above, who want to study or train at Level 3 and above*. The loans are called 24+ Advanced Learning Loans and enable students aged 24 and above to cover the cost of any tuition and exam fees, so they don’t have to pay these costs upfront. Applications for 24+ Advanced Learning Loans will be via the Student Loans Company (SLC) and any repayment of the loan won’t start until the student is earning over £21,000 a year. Interest on the loans will be lower than anything on the high street and linked to inflation. Any outstanding balance will be written off after 30 years.

For students studying Access to Higher Education courses, the government has agreed that for those students who move onto Higher Education and complete their Higher Education programme, the Student Loans Company will write off any amount outstanding on the loan for their Access to Higher Education course. Applications for 24+ Advanced Learning Loans are available via www.gov.uk/advanced-learning-loans. You will need a Learning and Funding Letter from the College to enable you to make your application. *Note: Qualifications eligible for loans must meet certain criteria - please check the Student Finance England website for details www.gov.uk/advanced-learning-loans

24+ Advanced Learning Loan bursary The 24+ Bursary is available to students who are eligible for the 24+ Learning Loan. If you have taken out a loan this should cover your course fees including any course costs that are essential for you to complete your learning aim/qualification (in most cases). The 24+ Bursary fund is available to support additional costs associated with coming to College that are not covered by the Loan.

The College will prioritise Additional Learning Support needs, travel, childcare and other hardship costs. Application forms for 24+ Bursary and 24+ Bursary Childcare are available from the College or by calling the Student Finance team on 0115 914 6414.
