You have six main options to choose from. All are equally valid and can lead to great careers or a route to studying at degree-level and higher.
What’s more, we’re uniquely placed to be able to assist your education no matter which you pick!
We have a huge array of courses and subjects available for school leavers, so no matter what you’re looking to get into as a career, we should be able to help!
We call the first six weeks of College Life ‘The Big Welcome’. We have lots of activities and lots of staff focused on helping you to settle in, find your way around and get to grips with your course.
Even though we have large campuses at Lincoln and Newark, we have security staff and wardens to patrol and make sure our students are safe at all times. ID lanyards are worn at all times.
Our Student Services team is there to help you every day. There is financial support available to you and a counselling service to help you if you need someone to talk to. We support your success.
From industry standard workshops and great libraries to amazing sports and leisure facilities – you’ll certainly notice a big difference from School and we want you to take full advantage!
At College you’ll be treated like a young professional and our facilities are designed to reflect the true working environments.
Although some of our courses mean you have to wear work-wear, a lot of the time you can dress how you like and many of our students feel this helps them express themselves.
You're likely to be on first name terms with your lecturers and as long as you treat them with respect, you'll be learning in an environment where you're treated like an adult.
Although some things are more informal than school, we expect 100% attendance and we expect you to be motivated and professional. If these things start slipping we will start working with you to improve your performance.
Many courses require you to attend college for around three days a week. You'll have lots of work to do outside of this time, but we trust you to manage your own study time. Many of our students choose to work part time too - and we encourage this, as this gets you ready for the world of work - as long as you can manage your studies too!
At our colleges you'll be doing a Study Programme that will include your main qualification, but also tutorials, Maths & English if needed, as well as work experience and industry placements.
