Vocational Courses
Turn your interests into career-ready skills by jumping onto one of our challenging vocational courses.
Our two-year Level 3 vocational pathways are equivalent to three A Levels and, as widely recognised qualifications, can get you into university, higher apprenticeships or employment.
With a focus on coursework, and a balance of hands-on practical learning and some external assessments, vocational courses are a great choice if you know the kind of area you want to work in.
Is this for me?
- I want to specialise in a subject that I am interested in and relates to my chosen career.
- I prefer a mix of coursework, practical learning and assessment.
- I’m organised and good with deadlines.
- I want to go on to university, get a higher apprenticeship or a job.
Then a vocational course could be for you! We offer a wide range of career-based courses that will allow you to develop your skills and vocational training.
What do I need?
- A minimum of four or more high grades at GCSE in subjects that are relevant to the course you’d like to study, including maths and/or English Language at grade 4 or above.
- Level 2 Diploma with overall Merit in a relevant subject and maths and/or English Language at GCSE grade 4 or above.
Skills Pathways
Whether you’re aiming to launch a career in the beauty sector, master styling in the salon, or build a career in the motor trade, these courses focus on the exact skills employers are looking for.
Because technical excellence starts with a strong foundation, most of these pathways begin at Level 1, giving you the time and expert support needed to master core practical skills, build confidence and ensure you meet industry standards before progressing to the next level.
Progression Pathways
If you’re not quite ready to join a Level 3 programme, our vocational Progression Pathways allow you to study at Entry Level, Level 1 or Level 2.
Whether you’ve struggled at school, lack confidence or need an extra push, these programmes will help prepare you to progress onto a higher-level vocational course, employment or an apprenticeship. Alongside your chosen subject, there is also a big focus on improving your maths and English skills.
