How to apply for a place at the college
Download printable application form here
All students at the College have individual programmes of study specifically designed to meet their needs.
When you leave school you have a greater degree of responsibility for your own decisions. You are therefore expected to choose your course within a framework of information, advice and guidance (IAG) provided the College staff. This will enable you to decide on a programme of study which reflects your interests, abilities and aspirations for the future.
We aim to provide you with the support, guidance and encouragement necessary to ensure a smooth transition from school to the College.
