Is it too late to apply in August?
Nope. We will continue to accept applications throughout August and September, so you still have time to change your mind. Some of our courses have flexible start dates. Please contact our Learner Recruitment Team for further information.
Will I have to re-sit my GCSE Maths/English at College?
Maths and English skills help you in everyday life and if you want to go onto uni or into work after your course, most places have them as a requirement. So if you have not achieved GCSE A*-C/9-4 you will undertake these qualifications alongside your main programme.
What financial support is available to me?
To take the financial pressures off you while studying at College, we have a number of financial support schemes in place to help you.

When will I receive my lanyard?
You will need to collect your ID card and lanyard once you have started college. Your tutor will be able to give you more information once you have started your course.
