Education Partnerships

Vocational qualifications can lead to a specific career and are good if students prefer ‘hands on’ learning and coursework rather than exams. A Levels are theory-based and feature a number of exams. Both types of qualification are highly respected by employers and universities, depending on what industry they choose.

At college the environment helps to prepare young people for that important next step; work or university.

Sixth forms offer courses for 16-19-year-olds up to Level 3. Further Education colleges offer a much wider range of courses, generally covering many more subjects. As a result, the environment at College including Newcastle College is very diverse.

We know that Year 11 students will not get their GCSE results until the summer so they need to put their predicted grades on their application form instead.

Well that’s great news, in that case we would look at which course they have applied for and if the level was not suitable for them we would put them on the most suitable course at the level that reflects their qualifications.

If their grades are not as high as they had hoped they don’t need to panic, we will look at which course they have applied for and if they do not meet the entry criteria we would put them on a similar course that suits the level of their qualifications.
