College Certificate

We will invite you to undertake an initial assessment and will be looking for a result of Entry Level 2 or 3.

If the initial assessment results are lower than this, it may mean you are suited to a different course but, don't worry, after your initial assessment we'll always clearly explain all your options.

You must be aged 16-18 to apply for this course.

Assessment is continual through coursework folders and Functional Skills assessments.

Choose to follow with a Level 1 course in a specialised career area of your choice or employment.

Students aged 16-18 don't have to pay tuition fees.
