Important Notice
Please note that all classes and courses are subject to minimum numbers. If there are too few enrolments, the College may cancel the class. A place on your chosen course is not confirmed until enrolment is complete.
There is a practical assessment for 2 hours and 5 minutes and a knowledge assessment for 35 minutes. These are taken within 10 days of each other. You can retake if you need.
Ideally you will have completed E3 EDS so you will already be confident with creating and editing word documents and know how to use a desktop or laptop, know how to open a document or app, update an account, interact with the home screen, open a browser and use a mouse. You will have an assessment on a computer to test your ability.
You will be required to attend an interview prior to enrolling onto the course.
College is not just about your course – it’s an opportunity to have fun, meet new people and explore your interests! You can socialise with friends in the café and comfy seating areas, join a club or sports team or attend exciting events around the college. Many of our enrichment opportunities are also great on your CV or UCAS application to demonstrate your commitment and enthusiasm outside of your studies.
Your time at college can also be affected by life or health difficulties, and it’s okay to need support. Our specialist teams are here every day to listen and give advice, whether it’s about career planning, financial support, mental health, or something else. And if you have a long-term support need or medical condition, we’ll work with you on personalised learning support to help you achieve your full potential.
