About the course
This one year Level 3 programme is equivalent to 1.5 A levels and is aimed at providing learners with the key underpinning knowledge required to progress into further study, employment in the industry or an apprenticeship.

Maths & English
A key requirement for future progression and employment is a good understanding and application of knowledge and skills in both English and maths.

What do I need to join
Learners will need to possess four GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including both English Language and Maths.
What can I do next
