How to Apply

You can now apply for one of our full-time courses for September 2021.
 

Application process

  • Applying for full time courses if you are aged 16 to 18 (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.

    Students with disabilities/learning difficulties

    Whatever it is that you may need help with, our team can work with you to put in place the right support that meets your needs.

    How to Apply

    You can make an application online from each course page where there are links to online admissions. To complete the application process you will need to register, or login if you already have a user account.

    Please note, if you are aged 16-18, you will only need to apply for one course within your chosen subject and the level will be confirmed at enrolment. A limit of two applications can be made, if you are unsure of your next steps, speak to one of our advisors. Click below for more information.
