Work Experience Some courses at One require you to undertake relevant work experience; these courses include: Beauty, Health and Social Care, Motor Vehicle, Sport and Engineering. For these courses, work experience placements are compulsory in order for you to pass your BTEC course. Other courses may offer optional work experience. For compulsory work experience, it is essential that you pay your work experience costs at enrolment on 23rd August in order to be enrolled on your course. Please ensure you bring a payment method along with you to enrolment. A work experience placement not only enhances your knowledge, it also provides an insight into a job or industry, giving you the experience to move forward within your chosen career. The length of time you spend at your work experience placement will vary depending on the course. Some courses require one day of work experience per week over the course of 12-16 weeks, whilst others may spend a full week block at their placement. You will be expected to attend every session to ensure you cover the required number of hours for your chosen course. Work experience costs include administration fees and necessary training or DBS checks prior to the work experience placement taking place, details of these costs can be found on the following pages of this booklet and on the website. Here at One we have a dedicated member of staff who will guide you through the process of securing your placement.
