Studying has given me a new-found confidence – I now know that I’m capable of achieving anything I want and with my new qualifications I’ve secured a job that I love!

I was an Engineer for 44 years and when I retired, I decided it was time to get back into education. The course has been challenging but I’ve learnt a lot.

I’m studying English as part of my job at Royal Bolton Hospital.

I’m really enjoying the course, especially the grammar side of things. I have much more confidence now, both at work when writing reports and at home.

s p i h s e c i t n e r p p A s t l u d A r fo Apprenticeships offer an ideal opportunity to significantly develop further knowledge, skills and behaviours to enhance your career prospects and develop industry expertise. If you want to progress in your industry an Apprenticeship may be for you.

Apprentices are paid employees; this means they earn whilst they are studying.

Did you know that Apprenticeships are not just for young people? You can complete an Apprenticeship at any age and we take your existing skills and experience into consideration when deciding what level you should study at. Many Apprenticeships progress right up to degree level. Bolton College’s dedicated teams are here to match your skills to the right Apprenticeship, supporting your entire journey.

Apprenticeships are perfect if you’d like to change your career, get back into employment or if you are currently working and you and your employer are looking to develop your skills and training to the next level or in another direction.

Benefits of an Adult Apprenticeship

Apprentices receive guidance and support from experienced designated tutors and employers.

Apprenticeships are a great entry point into a new career.

Apprenticeships offer a full suite of learning support so whilst you study for your occupational qualification you will further enhance your maths and English skills.

You can study an Apprenticeship in the following areas...

Accountancy - Barbering - Brickwork - Business Administration - Care Leadership & Management Carpentry & Joinery - Childcare - Customer Services - Digital Marketing - Electrical Installation - Exercise & Fitness - Hairdressing - Health & Social Care Information Technology - Motor Vehicle - Painting & Decorating - Paralegal - Plastering - Plumbing - Roofing - PE & School Sports - Teaching Assistant *The Government is currently introducing positive Apprenticeship reform with the creation of Employer Trailblazer Groups, who are developing new Apprenticeship standards. As such, Apprenticeship qualifications may be subject to change.

‘Returning to education at the age of 27 was daunting, but the Apprenticeship has really built my confidence and given me focus for the future.

I have a young family so being able to earn an income whilst learning new skills was the perfect solution for me.

I work at Bolton Cares as an apprentice in the Administration Department. I’m involved in a wide variety of tasks and the diverse nature of the role has allowed me to develop enormously.

One of my greatest achievements has been my progression in maths. At school I hated the subject but I love it now – something I never thought I would say! I’ve completed my Level 1 qualification and plan to do my GCSE next, then focus on training to become an Accountant in the future. I’m a prime example that you’re never too old for an

Sean Parker Barbering Apprenticeship Level 3 Working at Head Kandi I’ve always wanted to be a Barber. I got in to the trade at Bolton College originally as a full-time learner, gaining a Level 2 and a Level 3 in Barbering.

Apprenticeship; age should never be a barrier to achievement. The structure and work ethic it’s provided means I’m a good role model to my son. I work hard and it inspires him to work hard too.’

‘Gemma is an extremely hardworking and valued member of our team and is known throughout the business as a go-to person; she’s always there to help and will always go the extra mile to ensure she meets the expectations of the person giving the task.’

Lisa Antoni, Bolton Cares

er of Winn ding tan Outs tice in en Appr ering Barb

My work placement was at Head Kandi and this is where my manager saw potential in me, and on the back of the placement, he offered me a Level 3 Apprenticeship.

I’ve just finished my Apprenticeship and I loved it. I’m really committed to barbering and outside of work, I do a lot of self-study and practical work to perfect my knowledge and abilities – I always aim for a high standard of cutting skills.

The Apprenticeship has given me confidence; I was pretty quiet at the start but it’s developed my interpersonal skills and now I love dealing with the clients - I’ve built up my own clientele and last year, I was so happy to win ‘Outstanding Apprentice in Barbering’ at the College’s Apprentice Awards.

‘Sean’s proved himself to be the model apprentice and his commitment to his barbering work is so impressive. It’s been wonderful to support him throughout his Apprenticeship journey and I envisage a very bright future for him.’

Is your heart set on going to university but you don’t have the qualifications to get you there? Are you looking for a change in career or progression at work but haven’t been in a classroom for years? Or perhaps A-Levels weren’t right for you? If so, you might want to consider an Access to Higher Education course.

Access to HE Diplomas are designed specifically for adults who want to progress to Higher Education.

Our Access to HE offer is wide and varied and can support you to progress on to a range of degrees including nursing, midwifery, teaching, business and new for 2019, construction project management. Over 100 students progress from our courses each year to gain places at university, starting the journey to their new profession.

Other learners have secured places as far afield as the University of London, proving that Access really is the gateway to Higher Education.

You can study Access to HE qualifications in: • Business Management • Computing & ICT • NEW - Construction Project Management – see pg 33 • Nursing & Allied Health Professions - day or evening provision • Science • Social Sciences - day or evening provision • Social Work

Advanced Learner Loans If you take out an Advanced Learner Loan for an Access to HE course and then successfully complete a Higher Education course, you won’t have to pay anything back!* Visit: www.boltoncollege.ac.uk/ advanced-learner-loans *If you take out an Advanced Learner Loan to fund an Access to HE Diploma, then go on to complete a Higher Education course, you’re eligible to have the balance of your Advanced Learner Loan written off. However, if you don’t complete either course, you won’t be eligible and will need to repay your loan in full.

Mohamed Kakuji Engineering HNC ‘The class sizes are small, which means that our tutors can spend extra time with students to provide additional help or more detailed explanations. Once I’ve finished my HNC I’d like to work towards my HND and then find work in an engineering company.’

Sophie Fisher Public Services HND ‘The course is really interesting and I enjoy the wide variety of subjects we learn about. All of these experiences have helped shape my thinking in terms of my career and I’d like to work in the probation service after getting my degree at university.’

Jamie Snaith Civil Engineering HNC ‘I work for Highways England and my employer sent me to Bolton College to gain the qualifications I need to progress through the company. The tutors are brilliant, they provide us with examples of their real life sector experiences and add a new dimension to our learning.’

Imran Nazir Construction and the Built Environment Civil Engineering HND ‘After 20 years away from education and studying, I was nervous about returning to College but the course was perfect for me. The practical nature of the course means that I’ve learnt real-life skills that will help me get a job in the future.’

Nail Technology Diploma Level 3 ‘The Beauty, Make-up and Nails course gave me experience in a range of different disciplines and helped me decide to specialise in Nail Technology.

The tutors give us a lot of encouragement. They all have a background of working in the beauty industry and teach us with practical industry knowledge rather than just ticking off boxes in the curriculum.

I’m now hoping to secure a job in a salon and I’m also considering setting up my own business as a mobile Nail Technician.’

‘I would definitely recommend the course to others because it’s very practical. We spend time in class actually building computers and fixing faults rather than just learning theory.

I recently started a new job in IT Support and Sales and I’d like to go to university in the future to expand my knowledge even further.’ www.boltoncollege.ac.uk

‘I chose the Apprenticeship route, rather than going to university, because I learn best through experience and liked the idea of having a paid job that leads to a recognised qualification.

From my very first day on the programme I was able to get stuck in and quickly became part of a highly experienced and professional IT team – I’ve learnt lots from working alongside my colleagues and they’re always happy to help.

I’d love to continue my training and complete my Level 4 Apprenticeship.’

Chloe Newsham, working at Bolton College ICT (IT Software, Web and Telecoms) Level 3

Samantha Nixon

Working with Children Level 1 ‘I’m passionate about working in childcare and the early years course at Bolton College is everything I hoped it would be and more.

I’ve enjoyed the practical, hands-on nature of the course. My fellow students are all really friendly and, because we all come from different backgrounds, we benefit from sharing our knowledge and experience with each other. I want to continue my studies at Bolton College and then progress to a job in childcare.’

What you’ll learn: • Understand and use a limited range of simple words and sentences in BSL • Take part in simple, everyday conversations in BSL • Give and follow simple directions or instructions in BSL • Give and follow simple familiar statements or descriptions in BSL On successful completion of the course you can progress to BSL Level 2.

Louise Horpe Spanish

‘If I was to describe the course I would say it’s been fun, inclusive and has exceeded all my expectations.

I originally joined the course to learn the basics of Spanish to help me when I travel abroad. I was nervous about starting the course because I’ve not been in education for a long time, but I’ve been made to feel really welcome and I’ve enjoyed the class so much that I’ve just enrolled to do the next level.’

Jake Roberts Motor Vehicle Body Repair Apprenticeship Level 3 Working at Boundary Garage ‘I prefer working to being in a classroom, and being able to earn whilst you learn is a real financial bonus. What’s more you get to work alongside highly skilled body repairers every day.

My Apprenticeship has been a really positive experience. I achieved my Level 3 qualification and I now work here full-time.’

Alex Nolan Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Apprenticeship Level 3 Working at A&S Car Care Centre Ltd ‘I was attracted to an Apprenticeship because I prefer using my hands rather than being in a classroom. I’m working on customers’ cars on a daily basis so I have a responsibility to do a good job. I get lots of help and advice from the mechanics I work alongside.’

‘Taking on an apprentice has worked really well for us as a business. At first we had an extra pair of hands in the workshop, but we now have someone who is highly capable of working on his own and is an asset to our business.’

Haybit Sasi

Supporting Teaching & Learning in Schools Level 2 ‘The course is a brilliant way to get qualified quickly. At College I learn all the theory, policies and procedures I need to do my job, then I get to spend time in a classroom on placement and get an insight into the job in real-life.

Teaching Assistants play such an important role in the classroom and from my viewpoint, the role really fits around my lifestyle. I also have a passion for working with children, which helps, and I love that Teaching Assistants can have such a positive impact on the life of a child.

If you’re good with children, then this is definitely the course for you!’
