What We Offer
No matter what your plans are after college, whether it’s entering the workforce or pursuing higher education, we’re committed to providing you with the courses you need at the appropriate level to ensure your success.
We offer a broad range of A Level subjects, so if you are interested in academic subjects and thrive on the challenge of exams then you will be suited to this level.
These are practical-based vocational qualifications. If you would like to opportunity to have hands-on experience in a field or subject and prefer to be assessed more regularly through coursework and practical assessment, this course would suit you best.
T Levels are a new technical qualification and are the equivalent of 3 A Levels. If you prefer a mix of classroom theory, practical learning and industry placement with an employer gaining real workplace experience, this will the right course for you.
Have you struggled at school, perhaps lacking in confidence, but have the commitment and ambition to succeed? Maybe you have been previously home-schooled and need formal qualifications. Our Level 3 Transition Programme will give you the qualifications and skills you need to progress.
