How to apply


Once you have decided which course you would like to take, you must first check the entry requirements.  These are listed on the ‘Qualifications explained’ page, where you will find information about the qualifications/level you must currently hold in order to apply for your course.


If your current level and qualifications match the entry requirements, you will need to download and complete an application form. If you need any help in understanding the entry requirements, or in completing the application form, please call us on 01234 291000.


Once your application is completed please post it, free of charge, to:

The application deadline for full-time courses is stated on your application form. Applications after this date may still be considered but places are subject to availability.

Application deadlines for part-time courses vary and are according to the part-time course prospectus.


What happens next?

Once we receive your application, we will send you an acknowledgement letter and, in the case of all of our full-time courses and some of our part-time courses, you will be invited to attend an interview.

After your interview we will write to let you know if you have been successful in obtaining a place. If you are successful, you will be required to complete our acceptance card and return it back to us in order to secure your place on the course. If you accept your place at College, you will be invited to attend the New Horizons programme, which is a two-day event designed to help to get to know your way around College and enable you to meet people on your course.
