The level of course you start on will depend on your GCSE results:
- Level 3 – Five or more GCSEs at grade 9-4 including English Language and Maths
- Level 2 – Four or more GCSEs at grade 9-3 including English Language and Maths
- Level 1 – Four or more GCSEs at grade 9-2 including English Language and Maths
Higher grades are required in certain subjects. Click here to find course information and the individual entry requirements for each course or by speaking to our Admissions Team who will advise you at your interview.
In exceptional circumstances, students may be able to study a relevant A Level alongside their Vocational programme. This can be discussed at your college interview.
