Early application is recommended due to the small yearly intake onto this course.
Young people need to be working at Entry 3 to level 1 and although there are no specific entry requirements the college will need to assess that applicants have successfully developed the maturity and social confidence to work in a public space and with partner employers.
In addition to the entry qualifications listed, the offer of a place on the course is subject to the outcomes of initial assessment, which will be taken at the College as part of the admissions process. Please note that entry criteria may vary quite significantly between courses at the same level. This is to take account of the specific skills needed for success on particular courses, the length of the course and the requirements for progression to the next level. Entry criteria are given as a guide, and the exact requirements in order to obtain a place on a particular course will be confirmed following attendance at a Welcome Event/Interview.
