Principal and Chief Executive Anthony Bravo with BCoT students

At BCoT, we want every student to progress from us with the skills that employers need. These might be specific to a particular industry but they will definitely be the employability and study skills required to take you to University and employment.

Increasingly, more and more people come to BCoT to do an Apprenticeship, which combines the best of academic and on-the-job learning. We are offering more Higher and Degree Apprenticeships; too, so this could also be your route to a debt-free degree. In fact, we will be celebrating our 70th Anniversary in 2017; BCoT began life as a Technical Institute, training Apprentices for local industry, so employability and Apprenticeships are a proud part of our history.

I am always pleased that our students continuously rate BCoT as a happy and supportive place to study. So, whether you come to us as an Apprentice or a full time student, we are confident you will enjoy your time here.

We were also pleased to be rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in May 2016.

We hope you’ll be inspired by the information that you find in this prospectus and we look forward to welcoming you in September 2017.

Skills and

Progression

T

he qualifications at BCoT are designed to prepare you for work or a place at university for specific professions. Our courses are available at a range of levels to suit your ability, and include both theoretical and practical skills.

All applicants will be interviewed for a place on their chosen course.

English and Maths At BCoT we expect you to attain a Level 2 standard in English and Maths. If you are aged 16 to 18 and have not achieved a grade C at GCSE you’ll be expected to re-take them. We’re committed to the success of our learners and will give you any support you need to gain these qualifications.

Higher Education at BCoT It doesn’t matter at what level you start your life at BCoT, we encourage all our students to work towards achieving university level qualifications. So whether you are studying at Level 1, 2 or 3 we will set the expectation that you will progress to the next level, with the potential to study at degree level.

Your Route to University A BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma is a well established route to university. Graded at Distinction, Merit and Pass, these qualifications are equivalent to three A Levels. A triple distinction in a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma is equivalent to three A Grades at A Level. Both are worth 360 UCAS points.

Why do an Apprenticeship?

An Apprenticeship allows you to train on the job, whilst working towards a nationally recognised qualification. This involves either day release or personal tutoring in your workplace. All Apprenticeships last for a minimum of one year.

As an apprentice you earn a salary whilst training towards a recognised qualification. They are a recognised alternative to full time study when you leave school and BCoT can support you in finding an Apprenticeship position with an employer.

What levels are available?

Today, there are Apprenticeships available for almost every job you can think of. They can start from Level 2 and go right up to Levels 6 or 7, including degree and professional qualifications in some areas.

Most people who are new to a skill area will start on an Apprenticeship (at Level 2) and progress from there, but some areas will allow direct entry at Level 3 or higher. Please talk to us for more details.

In this prospectus, we have listed the Apprenticeships we currently offer alongside the full time courses that cover similar skill areas, so you can see your options clearly.

To find out more about Apprenticeships call BCoT for Business on 01256 306237.

Em p l oy ab i l i t y and Enterprise N

o matter what course you come to BCoT to study, we believe that one of the most important things we can do while you are with us is to help you gain the skills you’ll need for your future.

Although our courses relate to particular careers, they will all help you acquire a broader set of employability skills that will apply to almost any job and to life in general. After all, ask any person you know who is approaching retirement if their career ended up where they expected it to when they started working and most people will say it hasn’t, that they took opportunities they couldn’t have predicted.

That’s why, here at BCoT, employability and enterprise are words that you will hear time and time again. We will give you options to choose employability or enterprise activities and we’ll ask you to keep track of which activities you do. You will also find that your timetable also includes a day allocated for work experience. We can help you find suitable opportunities and, again, we will ask you to track what you do as evidence of the skills you’re gaining.

Employer Links W

e work with a wide range of local and national employers, organising work experience, guest lecturers and visits. This ensures that students are trained to industry standards and prepared for work or a place at university.

Employer Sponsorship

Increasingly, curriculum areas have established strong links with employers: Building and Construction students benefit from close links with multinational organisations such as Kier and Fosters who look to BCoT for new apprentices.

Engineering work in partnership with Gillette, WBTC and the Middlesex Group to offer Apprenticeship opportunities to students who successfully complete full time courses.

Employer Forums

All curriculum areas are developing their links with employers and all hold regular Forums. This is a chance for local business to tell us what skills they need, keep us in touch with developments in their industry areas and to influence our curriculum for the benefit of our students.

Work Experience

As a BCoT student you will undertake work placements as part of your course. This gives you the opportunity to experience work first hand preparing you for future employment.

Enterprise & Enrichment

There are many opportunities available to boost your employability skills and enhance your profile with employers. There is a wide range of interesting activities available, such as volunteering and work placements. As well as providing work experience, these activities will greatly enhance your CV.

Careers Advice

Our Careers and Progression team provide impartial careers advice and help for students looking for work. They can help with CV writing, interview skills and arranging work experience.

They are based near Reception on South Site

BCoT Recruits

Our BCoT Recruits service can help you find part time work, work experience placements, or an Apprenticeship or full time work for when you have completed your course.

Please speak to us for more details; telephone 01256 306237.

Industry Guest Speakers

Wherever possible, guest speakers from industry are invited to talk to students about latest technology, new ways of working and career opportunities. Hair and Beauty students for example have visiting speakers from top brands such as Trevor Sorbie, Toni & Guy and Steiner.

Learning at BCoT

H

ere at BCoT, we want to give you the best chance to succeed on your course that we can. There are lots of ways we will do that but we want to tell you about three in particular:

Blended Learning

You are likely to hear this phrase a lot here but what does it mean? Put simply, it is how we use digital technology to deliver your course in a varied and interesting way to help you learn better. So an example of blended learning might be preparing for your lesson at home by watching a video your tutor has prepared before taking part in a traditional classroom-based lesson. You may also complete interactive independent learning in one of the college’s IT spaces. We think all courses should be delivered through blended learning because it gives you the opportunity to learn and engage with your course through different channels whilst learning valuable skills to help you prepare for the future.

RAP Tutors BCoT has a team of dedicated tutors who are here to help you focus on your course and help support you in progressing to your next step. We call them ‘RAP’ Tutors because ‘Retention and Progression’ is a bit wordy. You will know your individual RAP Tutor and have regular catch ups with them to help you keep on track.

5:1 Teaching We break our courses into teaching sessions of six weeks.

This means that: • You can measure your progress; you can be aiming to achieve a unit or course milestone every six weeks.

• You can avoid lots of deadlines at the end of the year, completing assessments for each unit as you go along.

• You can improve and be more successful - you will have the opportunity to go back and improve your grade in any units you’ve already completed.

ECO

BCo

ECOBCoT ECOBCoT: our campaign name for the many initiatives we have launched to help reduce waste, promote environmental awareness and support sustainability.

As a College, BCoT is committed to looking after the environment. ECOBCoT is our campaign name for any ideas we have to help reduce waste, promote environmental issues or support sustainability across the College.

Some of our ECOBCoT initiatives include: In 2013, we saw the largest solar installation in Basingstoke when over £160,000 worth of solar panels were installed on the roofs of our main south site building and STEM department. In six years, the panels will have paid for themselves.

BCoT is committed to sustainability and now prints all its marketing materials on paper from sustainable sources.

We have installed waterless urinals in some departments.

We have a comprehensive recycling scheme across the College, so that waste from both offices and student areas is dealt with appropriately.

Our April 2014 Student Conference took ‘sustainable living’ as its key theme and invited organisations in to ask students to consider not only the impact that they have on the world around them but ideas to help make that impact a more positive one.
