Choose one of the following: 

• Check our website for details of the next Open Day or Enrolment event. Come along to find out more, meet staff, look at the learning environment and apply for a course
• Contact Us to register interest in a course. A member of the Student Services team will confirm receipt of your enquiry by email and pass it onto the curriculum team
• Call Student Services on 01902 558180 to get further information.

We want to make sure that you enrol onto the right course at the right level, so that you have every chance of success. This is best achieved through a one-to-one discussion so we understand your goals and previous learning experience. We offer on-line applications (make an online application) but we don’t offer on-line enrolment.

There are good reasons for this:

• For some courses we may need you to do an assessment activity or skills check to find at what level your skills are. This is useful for adults who have no or few qualifications, but have gained skills through life experience or in the workplace
• The Department for Education (DfE), provides all or part of the funding for your course. They require us to check on their system what learning you have done previously
• When we know which course is best for you, we need to check if you are entitled to a free course, a discount or other financial support. This usually means physically checking documentation such as benefit letters, ID and residency

Enrolment in person ensures that we make joining a course as easy as possible. 

• National Insurance (NI) Number. If you do not have this you can find your National Insurance number online.
• Photo ID e.g. a passport, driving licence, registration card or e-visa. If you do not have photographic evidence, you can provide two of the following. At least one of them needs to show your address:

• • Household bill
  • Bank statement
  • Birth certificate
  • Bank card

• Proof of qualifications e.g. record of achievement, certificates
• A share code if you need to show proof of residency
• Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP), if you have one
• Evidence of low income, for a free course (a recent payslip dated within the last three months)
• Evidence of benefits for a free course
• A letter from your employer if they are paying

For some courses you may need to sit an initial assessment or skills check before you enrol. There are three assessments, English, Maths and Digital. This is to find which level you are currently working at to ensure you enrol on the right course for your ability. You may not need to complete all of them. The online assessments can be completed on site or a link will be sent so you can complete it at home.
