Careers/College

College

College applications, for session 2012, for S4 pupils or above are due from November 2011.

College course information

Available apprenticeship information will be posted here when available.....

To guarantee that applications will be considered for this year's apprenticeships students are advised to complete the online application form as early as possible, as the sooner they complete it the better their chances are of being successful.

There is no upper age limit but applicants must be of minimum school leaving age (16) in September 2011 and have the right to work in the UK.

This year's apprenticeships are being handled differently to previous years. Applicants whose applications are successful will be held on a database and those with the stronger applications will be invited to attend a Hub Assessment Day when a vacancy becomes available in their local area.
