We know it is important for you to be part of your child’s future. We also know how important it is for your child to have a smooth transition from school to college. The information below will hopefully be able to answer any questions you may have, as a parent or guardian, about starting college. But if you have any others please get in touch.

What is Further Education (FE)? FE covers a wide range of education which goes beyond what has been achieved in primary and secondary education. Typically, FE includes: A-Levels, Apprenticeships, Vocational qualifications, and Foundation Learning. It also provides the foundation to Higher Education including Degrees and Higher Apprenticeships.

How will I be involved? You will be kept informed of your child’s progress through regular Parent Consultation Evenings. We also host a Parents’ Voice session where you will be invited to give us your views on all aspects of college life. You can also contact tutors directly to discuss any issues during term time.

Which qualification is right for my son/ daughter?

Can I visit the college before my son/ daughter applies?

There are lots of qualifications to choose from at our three campuses. Knowing which one is right can be a tricky decision. That is why we have a dedicated team to help discuss all the options and help your son or daughter to make the choice that is right for them.

We have open evenings at each of our three campuses throughout the year so you and your child can come along to find out more about college. These events will give you the opportunity to explore the campuses, check out the facilities, meet the tutors, and talk to our current students.

For more information, call 030 300 39699 or drop in to see us at any of our campuses.

What happens at the start of college?

How does my son/ daughter apply to college? Your child can apply for more than one course and have more than one interview. There are 4 ways to apply, with the most popular being through UCAS Progress (through school). The other ways are online, by post or in person. We accept applications until September.

Our Induction Days provide a further opportunity for students to have a successful transition from school. Students are provided with the opportunity to get to know their tutors, meet their class mates, and become more familiar with the college.

OUR TUTORS ARE ROLE MODELS WHO SUPPORT AND INSPIRE OUR STUDENTS

There are also Intensive Personal Advisers for students to discuss any personal matters with. At the start of the year your child will be allocated a personal tutor and they will be the key point of contact for both you and them as their time at college goes on. We also offer financial bursaries to support students to get to college and provide funds for materials and resources needed to succeed once they are here (bursaries are dependent on household income).

WHAT BEST DESCRIBES YOU? You know you want to go to university, but you don’t know where or what you want to study?

You don’t know if you want to go to university but you want to study A-Levels?

Don’t worry! Firstly, you are only trying to decide what A-Levels to study - University is the next step.

University isn’t for everyone! If you decide not to go to university after your two years with us, that's fine! A-Levels are still highly regarded by employers and you could go onto an Apprenticeship to further your studies.

However, researching universities and their courses will really help you get an idea of what will be expected of you. When choosing your A-Levels think about facilitating subjects - these will keep your university options wide open! Just ask our tutors for advice. Remember to choose subjects you are interested in. During the next two years, we will help you decide what is best for you through tutor and careers guidance.

A-Levels provide you with lots of opportunities. After your two years with us you may decide that you don't want to go to university. You may consider an Apprenticeship. You can now study Apprenticeships up to Level 7. Many large companies are now hiring Apprentices - do your research!

History, English and Sociology are my three main interests – and they’ve all linked into each other nicely. I’ve been able to use skills form all the subjects to merge them together to create one big set of skills – which has set me up nicely for moving on to university. History is my favourite subject – it’s been good to learn a whole variety of subjects from the Stuarts, Russian, and Civil rights. The topic I chose for my coursework was the reason for violence in the Cultural Revolution under general Mao – which was an area I had no teaching or understanding of before – so to be able to research it all independently from articles online and in books has been really exciting. I already have an unconditional offer from a London university to study History - so I’m looking forward to it!

I started college with the aim of becoming an engineer. However, after finishing a work placement, I decided it wasn’t for me, so I went down the psychology route - something I enjoy! I already have an unconditional offer from Roehampton University to study Sports Psychology! But it wasn’t an immediate jump to psychology, it was via statistics. I finished another work placement in London and found out that to work for that organisation I didn’t necessarily need a background in statistics, so instead of limiting myself I chose A-Level subjects that I enjoyed, hence psychology. All this work experience was really good and very useful. It was something I found myself because I wanted to have something extra on my UCAS application and personal statement for university.

After school I wanted to continue with my new found passion and decided to join the college. The course was brilliant and I was able to learn so much from my tutors, which then inspired me to apply to The Great British Sewing Bee when I was 17, becoming youngest ever sewer and finalist to appear on the show. I will be sewing for the rest of my life. I live, eat, and breathe it. Sewing is my career now.

Students go on to study subjects that are related to the ones they have studied at college, or take the opportunity to specialise in a subject, for instance Sports Journalism, Architecture, or Sound Production.

Our advice is to apply to as many universities as you can (although there will be a fee for your UCAS application), and then you will be able to keep your options open.

You may decide that going to university isn’t for you, but you’d still like to learn more about a particular subject, gaining valuable work experience in that area.

Students are able to study Higher Apprenticeship which allows them to gain the equivalent level qualification to a degree, while gaining valuable experience in the workplace. Students have started higher apprenticeships in a number of areas including Engineering, Software Development, and Public Relations.

This college is brilliant and has really helped me to find my way with art. The teaching, the facilities, and other students are top notch – I’ve never experienced such high quality before. This course has given me so much freedom to explore whatever path I want to create, using whatever facilities and materials I like. After being unsure about what I wanted to study at uni, an extra year has given me the time and creative freedom to help me pinpoint my specialism. I’ve been able to evolve my ideas, become more conscious of what’s going on around me, and been able to experience and live art on a different level than I ever had before. Next year I’ll be studying Fashion Art Direction in Manchester. I’m in the early stages of starting my own clothing brand so this course will really help me to collaborate with others and teach me everything I need to know to get my brand out there, hopefully meaning I’ll be able to make a living out of it.

When I came here it was quite a big shock in terms of being able to do anything I wanted and that was ok and it was more about the process. The college facilities and the equipment was one of the major reasons I chose to come here. The studio is great and it is really useful to have our own space that started to feel like home. The college sends 1 student a year to New York for a 2 week scholarship, and before I knew it I was at the New York Studio School. The studio is in Chelsea and after class we would go to all the galleries with the friends that I made. It was like getting a glimpse of a possible future life. I gained lots of confidence as I had to speak to people and it helped me to understand where I stood on my opinions on a lot of things to do with art. This year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to Goldsmiths to study Fine Art - Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited!

WHY STUDY BUSINESS DIPLOMAS OVER A-LEVELS?

A Manager

A Diploma in Business allows you to focus all of your study time on business. You will be able to study lots of different modules in more detail, giving you a greater understanding of the subject. The nature of the course may mean that you get to be more hands-on with your learning, rather than studying from textbooks all the time.

Marketing Human Resources Customer Service Communications Finance Business Owner Sales Recruitment Events THESE COURSES WILL HELP YOU: Gain a dedicated qualification in Business Prepare you for the world of work Help you to start an apprenticeship Get into university

Compared to A-Levels, a diploma is more coursework based (60%) with only a few exams (40%) so if you don’t perform so well under exam conditions, then a diploma may suit you. A-Levels are commonly thought to be the best route to university, but studying a diploma will also help you get into university. The method you use to apply to universities, UCAS,

generates a points system based on your grade, rather than the type of qualification. So your final grade during your Level 3 Diploma will give you the points you need to get into your chosen course. Our Managing a Business Event unit will also support your UCAS application. It will require you to work as a team, bring in external investors, and give you experience, which is valuable if you don’t have any experience or a job outside of college.

My two years at college have been great. When I first started college I had no idea what I wanted to do for a career. I chose Business because it’s a good way into lots of different sectors. The support and guidance that I’ve had from the college and my tutors has been really useful in helping me

to figure out what I want to do. I think the moment I realised was

when the college arranged for a careers advisor to come in and to talk to us. She did a personality test to see which career we’re most suited too. Now I’ll be

finishing college with a business qualification and I’ve decided

that I’ll be starting my career in recruitment.

I was interested in studying Health & Social Care

here because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been around health and

medical things in my family. My goal is to become a midwife, and after visiting and speaking to the

tutors during taster days and the open evenings,

I realised that this course would be a good way to help me prepare to study midwifery at university. There is just something about bringing a new life into the world that I find really interesting and

exciting. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d definitely say that this college sets

you up nicely for university because it gives you

the freedom, the independence, and responsibility to work at your own pace, but knowing that you have to get it done motivates you to do it.

WHY STUDY COMPUTING & CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIES DIPLOMAS OVER A-LEVELS? A Diploma in computing allows you to focus your study time exclusively on your chosen Computing course. You will be able to study lots of different modules in more detail, giving you a greater understanding of the subject. The nature of the course may mean that you get to spend more time putting your learning into practice on the computer, than studying textbooks all the time. Generally, there are fewer exams in diploma subjects than A-Levels, so if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perform so well under exam conditions, then a diploma may suit you.

Help you to start an apprenticeship Get into university

SOCIAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY

Studying a Diploma is a great way to get into University. A-Levels are commonly thought to be the best route to University, but this is not true. UCAS generates a points system based on your grade, rather than the type of qualification. So your final grade during your Level 3 Diploma will still get you the points you need to get into your chosen course. Some universities may even favour a diploma in an IT specialism because you have gained a greater understanding of the subject.

FIND YOUR SPARK WITH US Our Engineering Diplomas are designed to help you learn a range of

practical skills

in our purpose built workshops, as well

as the in-depth theoretical knowledge of engineering. You could study engineering with us for three years, focusing on workshop practices at Level 2, learning how to use the different types of machinery, how to read and create products from technical drawings, and understand health and safety in the workshop. At Level 3 you will be able to learn much more about the theory

of engineering focusing on

scientific and mathematical principles of

engineering, and gain an understanding of

computer aided design.

Our workshops replicate real-life workshop where you will be able to use our industrial

spec manual machines, such as the lathes, mills, and welders, giving

you a solid understanding of how things work in the industry. Our theory classrooms are fitted with computers and a 3D printer so you can use our computer aided design (CAD) software, to design and then make your own products in 3 Dimensions.

Our tutors have

years of industry experience

working in a number

of different roles and organisations. Some have

been production engineers, others have been tool makers, and some have been design engineers. But all of them will be able to draw on their experiences to provide you with genuine examples and case studies to bring your workshop and theory learning to life.

So if you love engineering and want to become a space engineer, or work with high precision vacuum technology, then our courses are the perfect place to start.
