Get great advice

Our Student Services Team are here to help you make an informed decision about what to study after your GCSEs. You can talk to them over the phone, via web chat or in person at College. You can also make an appointment to see our Careers Team who can support you further.

Attend an Open Event

Open Events are your opportunity to come into the College, meet staff and current students and see our facilities for yourself. You can get expert advice and information about all of our courses.

We also have virtual tours of our Centres on our website, so it’s easy to take a look around.

Make your application

Once you’ve decided what to study, apply! You can change your mind throughout the application process and only make your final decision when it’s time to enrol.

You can apply via the College website from the relevant course page, or phone us if you would rather use a paper application form.

Attend your course meeting

You will be invited to the College for a course meeting. This is an informal discussion about your choices, future plans and to ensure that the course is right for you. If your choice of study changes, you will be invited to another course meeting with the relevant department.

Guaranteed place

You will be offered a place on a course that is right for you, subject to meeting the entry requirements. Once you have your GCSE results you will be invited to enrol. Should your GCSE results not be what you hoped for, we will discuss your options and offer you a place on another appropriate course.
