WELCOME from the PRINCIPAL

Studying at Redcar & Cleveland College is a great lifestyle choice. Our team of expert tutors and support staff are committed to creating a fantastic learning experience for our students and helping them on their way to a successful career.

We’ve expanded our learning provision and there’s a course to suit everyone’s needs. While some favour the traditional route of completing their A-levels, many others find that apprenticeships, NVQs, BTECs (which can qualify for university entry) and other vocational training programmes offer a better pathway to a rewarding career.

Foundation degrees, HNCs and HNDs are also available should students want to go down any of these routes.

We’ve also strengthened our relationships with local companies, which have provided sustainable employment for many of our former students. We work with employers across a large number of sectors to identify any skills gaps and determine which skills they need to take their business to the next level. We’ve tailored our courses to meet these requirements so that students are armed with attributes that will give them the best chance of getting a job.

In short, we want our students to succeed. We listen to what they have to say and continually review our courses to ensure that they meet the needs of students and employers. We’ve built a reputation for giving students the necessary skills and knowledge they need to progress to further study or employment in their chosen field. Our dedicated staff possess a vast range of expertise and many are experienced industry professionals who have good connections in their specialist sector.

Studying here isn’t just about work, though. Our students can enjoy a wide range of benefits including discounts on full salon treatments and gym membership – all of which are part of an enriched learning environment which means they can really make the most of their time with us.

I come back to what I said earlier: studying at Redcar & Cleveland College is a great lifestyle choice. Why not take a look through this course guide to find out what our students have to say about the place?

University without A Levels

APPRENTICESHIPS

Redcar & Cleveland College recognises that there are different routes through to university.

Apprenticeships are designed to provide young people with relevant, practical training which will enable them to progress within their chosen industry.

For example, students completing a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma course (equivalent to three A Levels) can move on to a relevant degree level course. This can be studied part-time at the College’s Higher Education Centre and it is also a recognised entry qualification for most universities in the country.

Apprentices are recruited just as any other employee of the company and paid a wage or a training allowance. An apprenticeship is a work-based programme with a strong emphasis on practical training and assessment that is truly valued by employers. This includes NVQ at Level 2, the technical qualification and functional skills as appropriate.

2 YEAR LEVEL 3 COURSES

Advanced Apprenticeships

Equivalent to three A Levels

Advanced Apprenticeships provide a high quality route into work for school leavers.

Passport to HE

Level 3 courses studied over two years are equivalent to three A Levels and lead to university. After one year of study, students can achieve a 90 Credit Level 3 Diploma qualification.

As a student of the College you can join Teesside University’s Passport scheme. As a Passport member you can access impartial information to help you decide about your future, whether you want to go to university or into work.

You are invited to Teesside University events where you will receive help to enhance your UCAS personal statement or CV. The exclusive Passport website has on-demand information and resources to help you on your way – with lots of hints and tips as you progress through Years 12 and 13 of School as well as take part in the University’s end-of-year Passport celebration.

We hope you enjoy and benefit from this scheme, which celebrates the partnership between Redcar & Cleveland College and Teesside University. And we hope that it will help you to reach your personal goal.

They are an alternative to A Levels. Each Advanced Apprenticeship offers a young person the chance to take a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) at Level 3 and specific key skills.

Additionally, the Apprenticeship may include other requirements, based on what the individual employer regards as important for the young person and for their business.
