On completion of the Traineeship, you can progress to a Level 3 further education course or a Level 2 or 3 Apprenticeship (possibly with your work placement employer).  This can lead you to Higher Education options.

You must:

• Be at least 16 years of age on or before 1 July in the year of proposed entry to the course.
• Have a minimum of a Level 1 qualification defined as 4 GCSEs at grades D-G including Maths and English grades D-F or equivalent. However, most areas will require higher grades in Maths and English.  See our Traineeship page for specific grades for each vocational area.
• Attend an information session.  

Students with English as a Second Language Students whose first language is not English will be admitted to the College on the basis that their level of written and spoken English will allow them to succeed on the course and that previous qualifications gained equate to the course entry criteria.  Some of these decisions may be made outside the College’s remit and final decisions may be made by the Awarding Organisation. Students may be required to demonstrate their level of written and/or spoken English by undertaking an Essential Skills assessment on campus before gaining admission to the course.
