Applications made on or after Friday 4th July will be considered a late application.
We've had another signficiant increase in applications for many of our courses this year and some courses are considered full or are nearly at capacity. You are unable to apply for a course which is full on our website and we will already be holding a waiting list.
The following information is generally only for full-time courses. Those interested in studying an apprenticeship should ensure that they have an employer lined up before applying.
Applications which are made after Friday 4th July will be considered a late application. This means that, depending on the course you've applied for and the number of applications, we will prioritise existing applicants before reviewing your application.
If we're unable to consider your application at this stage, we will let you know and will get in touch if there is an update once we've followed up with all our existing applicants for your chosen course. If, after this, the course is considered full, you will be given an opportunity to join a waiting list where spaces will be allocated based on the earliest initial application.
If space allows and we are able to prioritise your application, we will invite you to attend an information session for your chosen course during the morning of Friday 22nd August. Please keep this day free as this may be the only opportunity for you to attend as many courses will become full following the session.
It is important that you continue to look at your texts and emails through the summer for an update on your application.
If you are unsure what you'd like to do, please book your place on one of our late applicant open days in the afternoon on Friday 22nd August to see what is still available. You can book your place here.
You might also be interested in our new, Step-Up to Level 2 and Level 3 programmes, which are full-time study programmes in English, maths and digital skills to help progress to your chosen course or employment the following year. We have many students who are interested in only studying English and / or maths and these courses are the best way to do that - as you'll have double the amount of teaching compared to a full-time student on a standard course. You can find more details and apply below:
- Step Up to Level 2 - English, Maths and Digital Skills (Functional Skills)
- Step Up to Level 3 - English, Maths and Digital Skills (GCSEs)
