Nam e: Rio Lives: Whitby Aspiration: Hair stylist Course: Level 3 in Hairdressing I have always wanted to do hairdressing. It is really interesting and when I was little I would cut my own hair so I always knew from an early age that this was my career aspiration. I am really happy to have secured my first job as a hair stylist in a hair salon in Whitby.

Why I chose RCC...

• Living in Whitby, this was the closest college to me that offered this type of course • The tutors are really good here and they are always willing to support you • It offered me the opportunity to meet new people

Next Steps...

My next steps are to continue to gain experience working in hair salons and then hopefully I might be able to have my own salon in the future!

JOE’S LAYING STRONG FOUNDATIONS AFTER SECURING A BRICKLAYING APPRENTICESHIP

Nam e: Joe Lives: Acklam Aspiration: Bricklayer Course studied: Level 2 Bricklaying Apprenticeship

I wanted to get into bricklaying as it was something my grandad and dad had done. The College offered me the opportunity to go and get some work experience with a local company. I impressed them enough whilst on placement and they offered me an apprenticeship, I was over the moon!

Why I chose RCC...

• The bricklaying course looked really interesting • My grandad and dad had previously done bricklaying • I came to an open event and the tutor sold the course and career to me

Next Steps...

To complete my apprenticeship and then hopefully I can have a successful career in the bricklaying industry.

“The hope is to further develop talented players, creating opportunities to join first team training sessions with the end goal ultimately being inclusion in the first team squad and the beginning of a career in semi-professional football.”

“Having previously been involved with college football myself, I am aware of the high standard of players who have not been able to progress into professional football, however I believe that with the right attitude and dedication, along with continued education, many exciting opportunities in both semi-professional and professional football can be achieved.”

QUALIFICATIONS We offer a range of vocational courses from entry level 1 through to level 3. The level of course you study will depend on your previous qualifications and achievements.

Apprenticeships are also available from level 2.

Qualifications are offered by different examination boards at different levels, which represent a standard of learning. Qualifications at the same level are broadly comparable but content, purpose, duration and amount of study may vary.

ENTRY LEVEL Entry level courses offer a basic understanding of a subject area, help you to enhance your career prospects and improve your English and maths skills. You do not require any formal qualifications for these courses but will be required to attend an interview with a course tutor.*

LEVEL 1 Level 1 courses are practical and prepare you with skills for a specific career. You will gain a wide range of background knowledge in your chosen subject. If you have not achieved a GCSE grade 4 in English or maths you will study for these qualifications alongside your course. You will typically require 4 GCSEs grade 2 or an entry level qualification in a related course to enrol on to a level 1 course.*

LEVEL 2 Level 2 courses provide you with the skills you need for a specific career. You will start to specialise in the areas you find interesting, but are still broad enough to give you a wide range of progression opportunities if you are not sure what you would like to do in the future. You will typically require 4 GCSEs grade 3 or a level 1 qualification in a related course to enrol on to a level 2 course.*

LEVEL 3 Level 3 courses offer you specialised and advanced learning which give you the skills and knowledge to progress directly into employment or university level courses on completion. These courses will also include a work experience placement to prepare you for employment. You will typically require 4 GCSEs grade 4 or a level 2 qualification in a related course to enrol on to a level 3 course.* Courses with a high practical content may require you to start at level 1 or 2 as you will need to build skills on these courses.

PAYING FOR YOUR COURSE FEES

If you are under the age of 19 at the start of your course there should be no fees to pay. If you are aged 19 or above speak to our Admissions Team about fees, repayment and student loan opportunities.

* Entry requirements may vary, please see each course page for specific entry requirements.

Qualifications

WHAT ARE T LEVELS? T Levels are a new two-year course, being introduced by the government, primarily aimed at 16 to 19-year-old learners. The equivalent to three A levels, they are a level 3 technical option that combines classroom-based learning with a strong element of on-the-job training through a 45-day industry placement.

T Levels have been developed in select subject areas, alongside employers and businesses to ensure they meet industry needs. The courses are being rolled out gradually to colleges and providers.

The qualification is made up of two main parts, a technical qualification and an industry placement.

Technical qualification: • Core content (knowledge and skills relevant to all occupations covered by the T Level).

• An occupational specialism (the knowledge and practical skills to enter employment in a particular occupation).

Industry placement: • Every T Level will include an industry placement with an employer, which will last a minimum of 315 hours (approximately 45 days) but can be longer.

NEW FOR 2022

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A T LEVEL AND A LEVEL 3 VOCATIONAL COURSE

T Levels are the technical equivalent to three A levels. They will cover core theory, concepts and specialist skills and knowledge for a specific career or occupation. The main difference between the T Level and a level 3 course is the compulsory industry placement. This will last a minimum of 315 hours and makes up 20% of the course. Academically demanding, T Levels incorporate English, maths and digital content.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A T LEVEL AND AN APPRENTICESHIP

Apprenticeships are built for those who know what occupation they want to pursue and are ready to enter the world of work.

They are typically made up of a combination of 80% on-the-job training and 20% in the classroom. T Levels have been developed in collaboration with employers and providers so that the content “meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work”.

T Levels are based on the same industrial standards as apprenticeships, created specifically by employers and approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education.

To find out more about the T levels being delivered at Redcar & Cleveland College from September 2022 please email: info@ cleveland.ac.uk or call 01642 777234.

We work with employers from a wide variety of industries with apprenticeship vacancies, so we can help you find the right opportunity.

Apprenticeships last between one and four years.

WHAT WILL I DO?

We can advise on the available vacancies, and which one would suit you best. We work with local employers who are looking for an apprentice and can help guide you through the application process. If successful, you will start work and learn the skills of the job as you go. On some apprenticeships, you will spend one day a week at College.

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

If you are looking to start work straight away and prefer to learn in a working environment, then this could be the route for you. This is your opportunity to impress, so you will need to work hard, show dedication, determination and enthusiasm. You will gain work experience in an industry setting, whilst learning a qualification which can be used for UCAS points, should you wish to consider university in the future.

Apprenticeships help provide you with the relevant work experience you need to find future jobs in your chosen area.

YOU NEED:

Entry requirements vary depending on the apprenticeship but all require that: • You are 16 or over • You live in England and are not taking part in full-time education • You may need to come into College one day a week if your apprenticeship is in a trade such as construction, hair or motor vehicle

ENGLISH AND MATHS

You will study functional skills in English and maths if you haven’t already achieved grade 9-4 at GCSE level. The grades you need vary depending on what level of apprenticeship you are studying. In some cases you will study ICT as part of your apprenticeship framework.

DID YOU KNOW?

The way apprenticeships work has changed and they now include an end point assessment.

This assessment may include a professional discussion with an external assessor, an apprenticeship showcase (a bit like a portfolio), an observation in your workplace or a practical demonstration. Your assessor will let you know which applies to you.

If you are interested call us on 01642 865 557.

I have always wanted to work with children so I was always going to do a childcare course. I started off doing the level 1 course and have progressed through to complete the level 3 course now.

Why I chose RCC...

• Small class sizes allow you to ask lots of questions • The tutors really take the time to get to know you as a person • I live in Saltburn so this was my local college

Next Steps...

I did my placement in a local nursery and they have just offered me my first paid role so I am looking forward to getting started.
