YOUR STUDY OPTIONS… Here at the College we offer a wide range of study options from entry level all the way through to higher education. We can help you find the right level for you, but here’s a quick guide.
VOCATIONAL COURSES
Our vocational courses will give you the skills and knowledge you need to help you get ready to start work in a particular sector. Combining the theory with lots of hands-on practical experience, these courses can lead to employment, an apprenticeship or university. We want to give you the best chance of success so many of our vocational courses will offer the chance to gain some real work experience. www.stockton.ac.uk/16-18-courses
APPRENTICESHIPS
If you feel ready to start work then an apprenticeship could be the right choice for you. At the College we can match you with employers who are looking for an apprentice, help with your applications and prepare you for the demands of working life. As an apprentice you will earn while you learn, picking up qualifications alongside your job. You may need to attend college as part of your apprenticeship. www.stockton.ac.uk/apprenticeships
A LEVELS
Our A level (or A level equivalent) courses are ideal for those who want to study a combination of subjects. As a full-time student you are able to study three or four different subject areas. A levels are a popular choice for those looking to go on to university. Our A level and A level equivalent courses are delivered at Bede Sixth Form College in Billingham. For our full list of A level and A level equivalent programmes pick up our Bede Sixth Form College course guide or visit: www.bede.ac.uk/home
T LEVELS
T levels have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that they meet industry demands. With a high focus on work experience, the twoyear course is the equivalent of three A levels and will be made up of a mixture of classroom experience and industry placement.
