Apprenticeships last between one and four years and are available in many sectors, offering hands-on experience, a qualification and a wage. During an Apprenticeship you spend the majority of your time in the workplace. Apprenticeships offer a range of progression opportunities starting at Level 2 and spanning through to Level 6.
BTECs and other vocational diplomas usually last up to two years. They involve practical work, as assessed coursework and, in some instances, exams. They carry UCAS points, so you can progress to higher education if you wish to. Alternatively, on completion you can pursue employment or an Apprenticeship.
We offer a fantastic range of full funded (subject to funding criteria) accredited distance learning courses, which you can study from the comfort of your own home. These are self-study knowledge based short courses lasting 12-16 weeks.
Foundation Learning courses are specifically aimed at students who are entering education at Entry Level or Level 1. They are designed to provide you with the skills needed to move on to an Apprenticeship, supported or skilled employment, further education, or independent living.
We offer a number of qualifications accredited by professional bodies including the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) and Chartered Management Institute (CMI). These courses are designed to provide key knowledge for career development and are recognised by employers allowing greater earning potential.
Studied over two years T Levels have been designed in collaboration with employers and businesses to bring classroom learning and an extended industry placement together. T Levels are equivalent to studying three A Levels and offer a mixture of classroom learning and on-the-job experience.
We work in partnership with top universities to offer a range of undergraduate courses with flexible study options and an emphasis on employability. As a smaller higher education institution, we give students the chance to study in a lively university town with great student support and smaller class sizes than many universities. At the end of their degree, students’ degree certificates are awarded directly by their validating university.
