T-Levels
T Levels are a two-year qualification for 16 to 19-year-olds. Each T Level is equivalent to three A levels and sees those enrolled complete a 45-day industry placement. The qualification helps young people develop the knowledge, attitude and practical skills to thrive in the workplace.
Apprenticeships
An Apprenticeship combines on-the-job training with classroom learning. You will gain hands-on, paid industry experience with a local employer, and study towards a nationally-recognised qualification in your chosen subject.
Specialist subjects
Specialist subjects give you the chance to study the subject you like the most over one or two years. From Games Design and Sports Coaching, to Hairdressing and Engineering, your local College offers a wide range of specialist subjects to choose from. Study in a hands-on way and gain valuable skills and experience to progress onto an apprenticeship, university, or into employment.
