Getting to college

Getting to college

There are a number of public bus routes which provide easy access for students from a wide area, plus we run our very own College bus services from Soham, Diss and Haverhill, passing through multiple towns and villages along the way, costing between £200 to £300 per term. If you're affected by the recent cuts in Cambridgeshire bus services, the Soham bus route may help you to get to college easily.

You can apply online for the bus passes, or alternatively if you'd prefer to chat to a member of the team, please email info@wsc.ac.uk or call 01284 701 301.

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are an excellent way to gain a nationally recognised industry qualification and valuable workplace skills, all whilst earning a wage! Training you in the skills employers want, apprenticeships give you choices in your career. Following your apprenticeship, you could continue working for your employer or go on to higher education in a college or university.

T Levels

T Levels

Ready for the next level but unsure if A Levels or an apprenticeship is for you?

T Levels are qualifications that follow GCSEs, last two years and are equivalent to three A Levels. You’ll get the best of both worlds with 80% of your time working in the classroom and 20% in an industry placement related to your course.

You’ll walk away with an approved technical qualification, 315 hours minimum work experience in a work placement and transferable industry skills.
