COURSE-SAVVY We’ve got hundreds of courses to choose from, so whatever your learning style and interests, we’ll help you on the next step of your journey.
Did you achieve a Grade D/3 or lower at GCSE in Maths and/or English?
Are you 16-18 years old and have completed your GCSEs?
Do you want to reconnect with education?
If yes, you will be automatically enrolled on to either Functional Skills or GCSE to study English and/or maths, alongside your chosen subject.
A-Level courses
If you’re academic, enjoy studying and thrive under exam conditions then A-Levels might be for you. We have a whole floor dedicated to A-Levels and understand their value in helping you to get a place at University.
Traineeships
Maths and English GCSE
Don’t worry if you don’t achieve a grade C/4 at GCSE in English and/or maths at school, we can help you. If you achieved a grade D/3 at GCSE in either English or maths you will be automatically enrolled onto our GCSE programme. Our specialist tutors will help you achieve at least a grade 4 with most students achieving higher with Sussex Coast College Hastings.
Functional Skills
If you achieved below a grade 3 in your English and maths GCSE, Functional Skills will become a part of student life to help you achieve that grade 3. The government developed the Functional Skills study programme to help you achieve the fundamental skills in English and maths to help you work in a business environment. The skills taught are designed to be used in real-life situations. Functional Skills is a stand-alone qualification.
Vocational Courses
Perhaps you have a clear idea about what you want to do in the future; taking one of our vocational courses could help you to get there. You’ll be able to learn all the skills you need to work in your chosen industry, while being assessed through course work and practical tasks. You can build up a vocational qualification from entry level to the highest, level 3. A vocational qualification is the equivalent to 3 A-Levels meaning that you can progress onto university.
Apprenticeships
If you’re a hands-on type of learner then you may want to get stuck in with one of our apprenticeships. The beauty of an apprenticeship is that it gives you the opportunity to earn a wage while you learn. You will study at college for one day a week while working for the other four days in one of over 1500 potential job roles. You have to be at least 16 to apply for an Apprenticeship.
