Our courses
A Levels
A Levels are a great option if you are looking to progress to University. They allow you to keep your options open with focused study of three or four subjects across two years. A Levels are assessed through examinations.
Vocational Courses
Vocational courses are more practical and hands on and will equip you with skills in a specific sector area which can lead to a job or to University. Vocational courses are assessed through a series of assignments, presentations, practical observations, projects and examinations.
T Levels
T Levels are a new qualification which are an alternative to A Levels. This 2-year qualification will help you to build the future that you want. You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% of your time in the workplace, putting the skills you’ve learnt into action. Every T Level student will take an industry placement that lasts at least 45 days, helping you to gain valuable experience in the workplace and allowing employers to meet the new talent in their industry. T Levels provide the skills, knowledge and experience you need to open the door to highly skilled employment, University or an apprenticeship. T Levels are assessed through practical employerset projects, assignments and examinations.
Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships allow you to earn whilst you learn! You will come to College alongside your job. An apprenticeship is a great choice if you are eager to earn money straight away and build your skills alongside experienced staff. Apprenticeships are assessed through workplace observations, exams and professional discussions.
