What qualifications are on offer and what do they all mean?

The number of qualifications available can often appear bewildering. This outline will give you an idea of the types of qualifications we offer.

Access to Higher Education Courses Access programmes are established nationally as an alternative to A Level entry to degree and diploma programmes for mature students. They provide grounding in the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully progress to a higher education course.

Apprenticeships See page 20.

A/AS Level A Levels are often the entry route into higher education and professional careers. AS Levels can be taken as a qualification in their own right, or as the first half of an A Level. The second half of an A Level is often referred to as an ‘A2’. Both AS and A2 Levels are available in a variety of subjects.

BTEC/City & Guilds Qualifications These are courses in vocational subjects, i.e. they relate to a specific job or career and can be studied at different levels.

At level 3 these qualifications are a great route to university followed by many students.

GCSEs GCSEs are particularly popular with recent school leavers who were disappointed with their year 11 results. The emphasis is on academic study rather than immediate skills for employment and a wide variety of subjects can be studied.

Many programmes include coursework and exams.

National Vocational Qualifications NVQs are work-related, competence-based qualifications. They reflect the skills and knowledge needed to do a job effectively, and show that a candidate is competent in the area of work the NVQ represents. They cover all the main aspects of an occupation.

You may have read about the changes to vocational courses, or have noticed the changes to course titles in this guide, and be wondering how this might affect you.

In short – the changes will provide a more flexible and personal approach to a full qualification.

In practice, this means that these courses combine mandatory and optional units, which once completed are ‘banked’ and stored on a centralised database providing you with an online record of your achievements.

What does this mean?

• A more flexible and personalised approach to learning • Being able to develop at your own pace • Qualifications that meet employment standards • Eliminates repeatedly learning the same aspects of courses Visit www.qcda.gov.uk for more information.

18-19 Functional Skills All full time students are assessed at the beginning of their programme to check their level in English and Maths. If the assessment shows that you would beneďŹ t from some extra help, this will be arranged as part of your individual learning programme. Functional Skills may be studied at entry level, level 1 or level 2.

Functional Skills English Mathematics ICT

All full time students, under the age of 19, are encouraged to work towards achieving the highest suitable level and which ones you do will depend on the course you have chosen. Your personal tutor will give you more information.

Why do Functional Skills? • Develops skills so you get good grades on your chosen course • Valuable when applying for jobs

www.lincolncollege.ac.uk | 01522 876000 |courses@lincolncollege.ac.uk

Apprenticeships

Whether you are due to leave school, looking for a career change, a promotion at work or want to get your skills formally recognised, an apprenticeship could be a valuable route for you.

What’s more, there’s no longer an age cap - Apprenticeships are an option for anyone of working age!

If you are aged over 16, living in England and not in full time education you can apply for an Apprenticeship (see details on eligibility).

What is an Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships provide on-the-job experience combined with a programme of study which could either be learnt through attending college or assessed in the workplace.

Apprenticeships offer the opportunity to earn a wage whilst learning and gain a nationally recognised qualification.

Businesses are now more than ever looking towards apprentices as a highly beneficial addition to their workforce.

The opportunity to train apprentices whilst they are studying allows businesses to develop the best skills and knowledge for the job.

Apprenticeship routes on offer

Think apprenticeships and you may well think of the traditional routes, such as construction, engineering and hairdressing, however apprenticeships are a recognised qualification in many industries.

Am I eligible for an Apprenticeship?

Provided you are aged over 16 and of working age, living in England and not in full time education, you are eligible to undertake an Apprenticeship programme. Apprenticeships may carry entry requirements, which vary between subjects, but REMEMBER – these are flexible. Practical skills, interests and experience are also taken into account, as well as academic achievements. Depending on your eligibility, your employer may be required to make a contribution– please contact the college for further information.

How would an Apprenticeship work for me?

You need to be employed within a relevant industry, working for a minimum of 16 hours per week or look for an employer who is willing to support your Apprenticeship programme: • Employed?

You can join an Apprenticeship programme with the support of your employer and base it around your current job. Get in touch with college or simply fill in an application form (see page 110) to get the process underway.

If your employer would like more information on the benefits apprenticeships bring to both the individual and the employer, ask them to call the employer hotline on 0845 270 7227.

• Not currently employed?

A list of local job vacancies is featured on the apprenticeships website, simply visit www.apprenticeships.org.uk to register and start searching. You can search using Lincoln College as the training provider.

Apprenticeships available: Accounting Administration Automotive Engineering - Service and Repair - Vehicle Body Repair and Finishing - Fast Fit Bricklaying Carpentry and Joinery Catering and Hospitality - Food and Drink Service - Hospitality Supervision and Team Leadership - Professional Cookery Childcare Customer Service Dental Nursing Electrical Installation Hairdressing Health and Social Care IT Users Management Manufacturing Engineering Painting and Decorating Plastering Plumbing Retail Supporting Teaching and Learning Team Leading Warehousing and Distribution Welding and Fabrication

Emily Eccleston – Dental Nursing Apprentice Emily, 18, explains how she got her teeth into this interesting role: “I read about the role of a dental nurse on the internet and decided I liked the sound of it. I knew I didn’t want to move away from the area so I applied for local trainee dental nursing positions. My employer, Genesis, is supporting me through my apprenticeship.”

“With my apprenticeship, I really feel like I am learning something. Every other Wednesday I come to college for a full day to learn the theory, while working at the surgery for the rest of the time provides the hands-on experience I need. By the end of it I’ll have a qualification and the right level of experience – so for me I really am getting the best of both worlds!”
