We know it's tough making the big decisions! Your first stop should be our online Career Coach tool, which will help you decide where your skills and passions lie and map out a path to your dream career, including the qualifications you'll need! If you'd like to talk to us about courses, get in touch with our Student Services team, or you can attend one of our regular Open Events to speak to tutors. Once you enrol with us, you'll benefit from industry experienced tutors, plus you'll meet regularly with a Careers Adviser to discuss your progress and your goals.

Of course! Get in touch with our Student Services team who can answer your questions and help you complete your application.

We want everybody to have access to education and the opportunity to gain new skills, whatever your situation. Depending on your age, your individual circumstances and the course you're enrolling on, you could qualify for some financial support. This could range from help with the costs of travel, meals and study supplies to bursaries and loans for course fees and childcare. You can also ask our Student Advisers for some help with budgeting, student discounts and how to make the most of your money.

Yes, we want to ensure that every student has access to education and training and we offer support to help you reach your full potential. Our award-winning Student Support team can offer support with learning disabilities and difficulties, physical disabilities, sensory needs, dyslexia and autism, as well as support and advice on mental health and wellbeing. You'll be asked whether you may need support when you make an application and a member of the Student Support team will be in touch to find out what kind of support would be best for you.
