Nottingham College knowledge base Beta

Most vocational courses involve at least 2.5 to 3 days a week in college, while A Level students, studying a minimum of three subjects, can expect to be in college most days; on top of this, GCSE English or Maths resits and work placements add further scheduled time.

The exact time will vary for your specific course. If you need to resit GCSE English or Maths, this is built into your overall timetable as additional scheduled lessons.

A Levels, being a more classroom-based, academic route studying a minimum of three subjects, naturally require more days in college than many vocational courses, since each subject needs its own timetabled lessons. Because the exact pattern varies so much by course, your specific weekly timetable will only be confirmed at enrolment.
