Any offer of a place will be conditional on the production of documentary evidence of GCSE grades or equivalent before the course commences. Special consideration may be made if applicants show particular aptitude for the course.

Progression & AssessmentAssessment and Progression:

Achievement, Assessment and Examinations
The main components of assessment are through the testing of practical skills and the assessment of job knowledge through written tests. The majority of assessment is internal; however the Diploma Awards require externally set tests to be taken. Assessment takes place within each element and unit of training throughout the programme. The College is committed to maintaining Records of Achievements and providing appropriate feedback through reviewing and action planning.

Progression
Progression is the key factor and the Programme is designed to allow students to progress through several levels as the career opportunities expand. On completion of the Programme students may be able to progress to a Diploma Level 2 or gain employment in order to gain more training and experience whilst working towards a Diploma Level 2 Award and NVQ2.
