Whether you're leaving school, looking to upskill, or thinking about a career change, we have something for everyone. From hands-on vocational courses to academic pathways, apprenticeships, and university-level study, we’ve got you covered.
What are the courses we offer?
We have courses for learners of all ages, abilities and interests. From 14-16 and upwards, here’s an overview of what we offer.
14- 16 options
We offer education for those aged 14-16 who are home educated to supplement their studies, meet new people and achieve their qualifications. These courses are free and delivered at our High Pavement Sixth Form campus.
Further Education courses
Further Education is for learners aged 16-18 who may be leaving school. There are not only loads of different subjects students can choose from, but lots of different qualifications available. You can study a:
BTech
This can be level 1, 2 or 3 depending on your level of study and previous grades and qualifications. A BTech is a more vocational course to study, focusing more on practical sessions and coursework.
A levels
We also offer A levels which are a more traditional and academic qualification you can study. You can choose from a range of subjects that you will typically study over two years and finish with exams.
T Levels
T Levels are another 2-year qualification, but the learning is split between 80% classroom and 20% work placement, giving you experience as well as knowledge in your chosen field. A T Level qualification is equivalent to 3 A Levels so make them perfect to go into employment or onto further study.
