Apprenticeships

If you want to learn the trade of your choice and earn as you go, an apprenticeship might just be the thing for you. Read on to find out about our apprenticeship programme, delivered at our Croydon College campus.

As a training development programme tied to a job role, you will work as a contracted employee with professional on-thejob training alongside experienced staff and gain nationally recognised qualifications – whilst earning a wage too!

Croydon College is one of south London’s leading providers of apprenticeships, and there has never been a better time to start an apprenticeship. Apprenticeships are available at intermediate, advanced and higher (degree) levels, covering more than 170 industries and 1,500 job roles. You can start an apprenticeship at any level depending on your existing qualifications and experience. There are no tuition fees as training costs are funded by the government and your employer.

We have the facilities to deliver many courses, so please feel free to enquire with your details. We could also add you to our talent pool, which will connect you with a vacancy that meets your needs.

Nataly Vivanco-Piechota Studying A Level Politics & BTEC Business

Why did you apply to Coulsdon College?

After some personal navigation through the college’s website, I was amazed at the wide range of courses they have available. When I attended my interview, I was very impressed with the building and staff who were so friendly.

Why did you choose your courses?

I studied business at GSCE and I knew I wanted to take my studies further. I decided to study politics because I have a general interest in the world of politics.

What are your future aspirations?

I will study business at university to help me in my journey to become an entrepreneur. My dream is to open a successful, well established business and maybe later on join a political party and maybe even become an MP.

Do you have any advice for future students?

Don’t allow yourself to fall behind, your first year is crucial. Take every single opportunity and always be yourself.

Jack Cress Studying A Level Business, Politics & Spanish

Why did you apply to Coulsdon College?

When staff came to my school during a College Fair event, I was really impressed. I then attended an open day and was amazed by what I saw: a modern building, friendly staff, a wide range of courses all situated in a green, peaceful area.

Why did you choose your courses?

I studied business and Spanish as part of my GCSEs, and it was always my intention to carry on studying them. I find it fascinating learning about the way businesses work, and the economic environment in which they operate. I chose Spanish because languages are increasingly important in today’s world. I am an avid reader of the news so I chose politics in order to gain a greater understanding of the events I was reading about.

What do you love most about Coulsdon College?

Coulsdon Sixth Form College is unique. You have the opportunity to study a wide range of A Levels and BTECs which are taught by brilliant teachers in a great location.

Do you have any advice for future students?

Take every opportunity that comes your way.
