A-LEVELS are a Level 3 programme and are suitable if you enjoy academic study and are considering going on to university.
There’s a huge range of subjects that you can study - many of which may not have been available to you at GCSE level. You will also be encouraged to get involved in one of our Academies to help further develop your studies.
You can take up to three A-levels, they take two years to complete and are assessed by end of year exams.
See page 22 for our A-level courses. CAREER PATHWAYS
VOCATIONAL PROGRAMMES are available at Levels 1, 2 or 3 and focus on both practical and theoretical elements. Depending on the level completed, you can progress on to university, an apprenticeship, employment or a higher level vocational course.
Level 1 and 2 courses last for one year, but you can usually progress onto a higher level upon completion. Level 3 vocational courses usually run for two years and are equivalent to three A-levels.
You will be required to undertake a range of exams and assessments during your course and will also be expected to carry out work experience or industrial placements.
See page 40 for our vocational courses.
APPRENTICESHIPS are available at Level 2 (intermediate) all the way up to degree level. Apprenticeships are a great way to earn while you learn by receiving a salary whilst also studying at college.
An apprenticeship is a genuine job with an accompanying skills and knowledge development programme. It gives you the perfect combination of hands-on experience whilst understanding behaviours expected at work.
On completion, you could move onto a higher level apprenticeship or move into permanent employment.
Look out for this logo in the various subject areas to see if you could study an apprenticeship.

These qualifications give you the chance to learn what a real career is like while you study.
