If your GCSE results aren’t what you expected, it’s important not to panic! We’re here to help so it’s important you still come to your enrolment appointment so we can discuss all your options with you (there are lots more options than you think). We have places available on a range of courses at different levels, with varying entry requirements (there is even the option to re-sit your GCSEs if you want to).

Yes! Our Level 3 vocational courses are equivalent to A Levels, many universities accept them as entry requirements, and they are worth UCAS Tariff points.

If you have a specific university or course in mind, we’d recommend you do some research to find out their entry requirements as this will help you make an informed decision on what you’d like to study.

Yes! A common misconception is that apprenticeships have an upper age limit, but this is very rarely the case! We advertise apprenticeship vacancies throughout the year and you don’t have to wait until September to get started.

Open Evenings

Yes, we do, and many students are now choosing to stay local and save money by studying with us. You can find out more on our University Centre page.

University Level Courses

No! From apprenticeships and Access to HE courses to part-time, professional and university level courses we have options for everyone regardless of age and previous qualifications. We also offer a range of hobby courses and 1 day taster sessions too. In some cases, you can study for free!

Courses for Adults

We certainly can! We run a series of Access to Higher Education courses that are designed for those aged 19+ who want to go to university. Funding for these courses is available and if you use your course to go to university, the balance of your loan for your access course is wiped.
