history Art Deco and Modernism
Illusion and Reality in Late Victorian Britain
After WWI a new, very distinctive style emerged 1920s and 1930s, directly following Art Nouveau. Art Deco style was associated with the Jazz Age, so it was also described as “jazzy”, utilising modern technology and innovations, such as plastic, chrome, aluminium and electricity. Smooth lines and geometric patterns were found in everything from art to fashion. We look at influences, architecture, style, fashion, interiors, paintings and 1930s film clips. A fabulous feast of colour, illustrated with a huge amount of images.
Life for the wealthy and poor during the long Victorian period was one of complete contrasts, especially during the latter part of the century. We look at life in countryside and town, comparing domestic, social and cultural life, including how paintings and literature of the period depicted society. Illustrated with slides, books, extracts from period diaries and journals, prints, paintings and video clips.

Late Victorian Britain: Culture and Society 1865-1895
The Novel as Social History Within the pages of the novel we discover more than just a story. Setting, portrayal of characters and background detail tell us much about the period and its social history. As extracts from several novels are read out, we discuss what exciting `other’ information we are discovering. We will also compare the written word with its moving image - the film of the novel. A list of suggested reading is available from the tutor although it not a requirement of the course to read the novels mentioned.
The long Victorian period was one of complete contrasts, especially during the latter part of the century. We study progress and change in architecture, technology, domestic life, work, leisure and the arts, using literature as a backdrop to set the scene, and paintings to demonstrate domestic and public life.

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?

Government guidelines stipulate that employers must contribute fees towards the 19+ Apprenticeship as they will no longer be fully funded programmes. The amount an employer would need to contribute varies depending on the programme.
