Careers Guidance

Having trouble deciding what course to do? Our careers guidance team was awarded Matrix Accreditation in 2022 and maintained year on year. This is a national quality standard for careers guidance so you can be assured that our advisers will help you find the right path even before you join the college. You can make an appointment with one of our Careers and Guidance Advisers who can offer free impartial advice and guidance on education, training and work prospects. If you are unsure about which course to choose why not come in and see us. For more details, contact our Guidance Team on 01325 503040.
