and development for your employees. Our

Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships can make your organisation more
effective, competent, productive and competitive
by addressing your skills gap directly. They are
designed to help your employees and future
employees reach a high level of competency
and performance.
All apprentices must be employed, so either current members
of staff or new recruits are eligible. There are different levels
of Apprenticeships that allow your employees to study at
the right level – NVQ Level 2 (Intermediate Apprenticeships)
or NVQ Level 3 (Advanced Apprenticeships). They also
include Functional Skills and, in most cases, a Technical
Certificate. The NVQ is assessed in the workplace and
the Technical Certificate and Functional Skills are normally
delivered and assessed in the College, usually by attending
up to one day a week.
Throughout the Apprenticeship, a Training Co-ordinator
will be able to support and guide you and your employee.
They will work with you to help you decide which Apprenticeship
is right for your employee, explain the way in which the
Apprenticeship works and what funding is available.
The Training Co-ordinator will also carry out regular 12 weekly
reviews of progress with yourself and your apprentice.

QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE
Foundation Degrees
A Foundation degree is a modern, Higher

students with the skills and knowledge
employers need now and in the future.
They are designed and developed in
partnership with employers. Foundation
degrees are flexible and accessible
qualifications, valued by students and
employers alike.
Higher National Certificates/
Higher National Diplomas
Higher National Certificates (HNCs) and
Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) are
nationally recognised, Higher Education
qualifications related to specific jobs. They
are skills-focussed rather than academicallyfocussed and can help employees move

improve within their current position.
As an employer, taking on a Foundation
degree graduate means choosing someone
prepared for the world of work and able to
apply their skills immediately in your business.
Foundation degrees may also be studied
part-time and offer relevant, valuable
professional learning and development
opportunities for your current employees,
extending their skills and your responsiveness.
HNCs can take one to two years to
complete, while HNDs take two or more
years. However, like Foundation degrees,
students who successfully complete
a HND can apply to top up their qualification
to a full degree at certain universities.
Fees are met by the employer or jointly
by employers and employees. Financial
support is available on a means-tested
basis for part-time students.

numbers are not reached, the College
may need to cancel a course. In this
situation, you will be offered a transfer to
another date/time or a full refund.
Course Advice and Information
Advice and information is given by
College staff in good faith. Information
presented to potential learners is
based upon facts available at the time,
but may be subject to change. The
College cannot be held responsible
for misleading information supplied by
others. Where qualifications are awarded
by a professional body, learners are
advised that it is their responsibility to
read any guidelines produced by the
professional body and to negotiate any
exemptions directly if appropriate.

in order to pursue their course and the
College seeks to provide this wherever
possible. Learners must play an active role
with staff in supporting equal opportunities
by treating everybody with respect and
reporting discriminatory behaviour.

Equality and Diversity page of our website,
