How to Apply

You can now apply for one of our full-time courses for September 2022.

Application process

  • Applying for full time courses if you are aged 16 to 19 (aged 19 to 24 for students with an Educational Health Care Plan)

    It's wise to apply as early as possible for the course you’d like to join as courses fill up quickly.

    We can process applications up to the start of a course, but it’s always good to know you've got an offer early.

    The application forms ask for a lot of information which we use to ensure everyone is treated fairly.
