How do I enrol?

Study Programmes

You may be required to complete an initial assessment or interview prior to joining your course. We will discuss with you your reasons for undertaking a course and what you want to achieve.

You can enrol on a course in person in our centres or by calling us on 03000 41 71 23.

How will I be supported?

Study Programmes

As part of your course, you will complete an initial assessment to identify your strengths and what your tutor needs to support you with. At the start of the course, you will attend a learner induction which will explain the course contents. Your tutor will support you throughout your course. They will discuss your individual goals in your Individual Learning Plan (ILP), provide feedback on your progress, review and discuss your targets and your next steps. You will have access to resources and online learning platforms where required. We can also provide additional support and welfare, where required; for example, the possibility of financial support e.g. with your travel costs, resources from the 16-19 Bursary fund (subject to status)
