Vocational Courses

Getting you started for employment or your journey to university…

We offer students a more practical learning programme with vocational qualifications that relate directly to job roles or industry.

Taking a vocational qualification means that you can study and gain skills in a particular area. These qualifications follow a course structure and they have an emphasis on developing practical skills and knowledge. They are usually classroom based with assessment by written and practical examinations. Employers really love the skills you will develop and they are also an ideal qualification for entrance to university. A triple distinction on a vocational course is the equivalent to 3 As at A Level.
