About Us > Adult Apprenticeship Programmes

Adult Apprenticeship Programmes Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to continue your studies, gain qualifications and put theory into practice as you gain real experience in the workplace. City College is a major provider of Apprenticeships in the South-East, and we have extensive contacts in the industry. We work closely with employers and advertise their vacancies on the National Apprenticeship Vacancy Service: www.apprenticeships.org.uk Who can take an Apprenticeship? Apprenticeships are not only available to school leavers, they are open to anyone over the age of 16, as long as they are employed. This may mean you need to find an employer to support your Apprenticeship or you could study an Apprenticeship qualification whilst in your current job. Typically Apprenticeships will last at least a year and Apprentices work towards a National Vocational Qualification at Level 2, Functional Skills and in most cases a Technical Certificate. Advanced Apprenticeships will last up to two years (dependant on sector) and apprentices work towards a National Vocational Qualification at Level 3, Functional Skills and a technical certificate. For those already in employment, an Apprenticeship qualification can add to your industry knowledge, boost your CV or show your employer your commitment and future potential by adding to your skill set. Why should I take an Apprenticeship? Whilst taking an Apprenticeship, you will be working for a real company in a real job. You will gain the skills, knowledge and experience of your chosen industry. You will also work towards either an NVQ or another nationally recognised qualification. You can ‘earn while you learn’ As an Apprentice you will earn a wage which is paid by your employer which must meet the minimum salary of £2.65 per hour. The average salary for Apprentices is around £170 a week.

Flexible training As an employee you will be in employment for most of your time as most training takes place on the job. The rest usually takes place at a local college such as City College - usually once or twice a week. What industries does City College offer Apprenticeships in? You might be surprised at what you can do an Apprenticeship in now; Apprenticeships are possible in nearly every trade and the following are offered at City College. It is important to note that you will need to be employed or find employment for your Apprenticeship. If you wish to take an Apprenticeship but do not have an employer, please get in contact with us. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

“It’s a requirement of the industry to have the 17th ed qualification so I can sign off my own work. The course was really structured and straightforward which helped me get through it without any problems. I also did the PAT testing course which was also very straightforward with all the learning goals made clear by the tutors. They were always really supportive and helpful if anything wasn’t clear. Now that I’ve achieved these qualifications, I’ll be coming back to the College to do the Periodic Inspection and Testing course which will enable me to sign off other electricians’ work.” Simeon Peach, former student

Courses > History

History Our history courses provide fascinating insights into the social and cultural changes that have occurred through various decades and also offer you the opportunity to focus on specific movements such as Art Deco and Modernism.

History: Art Deco, Modernism and the Jazz Age

Victorian narrative paintings tell us much more than the main topic. They are full of symbolism and expose other features we hardly notice. These ‘extras’ tell us more about the period and its social history. Painters wanted to show domestic scenes and ‘real life’ and were not afraid of controversial subjects which might shock the public. Massive social, economic and cultural changes took place within the period which painters wanted to tell us about but, as they did so, they were also exposing much more - a little girl bringing her father’s lunch to his workplace, the inner turmoil of an emigrating couple, the pain of parting, or the long engagement, as well as tiny figures and scenes around the main subject which we almost miss.

After WWI a new, very distinctive style emerged, directly following Art Nouveau. Architectural buildings of every type from churches to cinemas, houses, bus stations, garages and lidos were developed in this style which had many influences. It was associated with the Jazz Age and also described as “jazzy and it utilised modern innovations, such as plastic, chrome and aluminium. The smooth lines and geometric patterns were found in and on everything from art to fashion, furniture, light fittings, ornaments, glass, ceramics and jewellery. Cinema and film included elegant sets and flowing dresses and the style reached its height of fashion in the Hollywood musical with the wonderful Busby Berkeley Hollywood film dance routines. We look at influences, architecture, style, fashion, interiors, paintings and clips of favourite films and stars of the period. A fabulous feast of colour, illustrated with a huge amount of images.

Narrative paintings of various topics will open up your view of art and enable you to see and enjoy it in a totally different way and the course is Illustrated with many slides.

History

Looking at Victorian Art Paintings as social history

Courses > History

The Victorian World 1851-1875

Victorian Life and Leisure 1851-1875

On this course you will study social and domestic life and look at all forms of housing and the people who inhabited them and the lives they lived; from large country estates and town houses to humble cottages and pitiful town rookeries of the residuum. You will see how dwellings were built and furnished and view the internal workings of the home and the ornaments, paintings and furniture which adorned them for all classes.

On this course you will study general life, as well as the family, work, leisure, travel, art and culture. This period saw the burgeoning “leisure industry”, holidays - particularly the seaside - travel to the countryside, and in the new green spaces of the town as public parks were opened for all to enjoy and benefit. Working life was a different matter and there was little time off from the hard and continuous grind for the poor. But society was changing and we look at the urban environment, railway, public health and civic amenities, as well as improvements in working hours and conditions, plus poverty and unemployment, philanthropy and poor relief. The course is illustrated with PowerPoint, DVD, books, images and texts.

There was a strict hierarchy which existed “below stairs” which was far more snobbish than that between master and servant. The domestic life of the servant, their duties, wages and relationship with the houses in which they worked is a fascinating one. Mrs. Beeton was the Delia Smith of her day and introduced technology into household management.

History

In comparison with the wealthy and middle classes and their social life, you will study life of the poor, their lack of amenities, deficient nutrition, education and medical attention and the effect of their appalling living and working conditions. The course is illustrated with PowerPoint, DVD, books, images and texts.

History: Women, Wartime and the Homefront Life for women during Wartime and how they coped during the later 1940’s after war ended. We look at women at war - their occupations in the armed services, as pilots, nurses, typists, working in the Land Army, in factories, in the WRVS and other voluntary organisations, as well as being housewives and mothers.Some women worked as spies or at Bletchley Park tapping out codes on the Enigma machine. At home during war and after, women had to cope with rationing and learning to ‘make do and mend’ while attempting to remain glamorous keeping up with fashion and cosmetics. A heartening, happy afternoon.

Photo Project Development Workshop This course will teach photo enthusiasts the stages involved in creating a particular photographic project. From inspiration to research to creating a body of work it will cover all aspects of Photography, including technical and visual understanding to be able to complete the task. During the day we will cover research, sequencing, structure, positive critique, open discussion, understanding of fine art photography, funding and discuss possible project outcome i.e. exhibition, arts forum, book. This creative project approach to photography, will inspire, motivate and actively guide the student to start a body of work in their chosen format. We will be taking photographs on location and the results will be discussed afterwards. By doing so it will deepen existing photographic knowledge and skills, but also encourage the discovery of the students own photographic style.
