Engineering and Manufacturing - ROTEC

An amazing opportunity for students to study an apprenticeship or

This course will provide students with the skills needed to work in today’s

fast pace graphic design industry. With the world of graphic design

Access a Brighter Future

People say that you don’t get a second chance at life, but they don’t know about the Access to Higher Education and Access to Art courses.

Access courses are specifically for mature students who are looking for the opportunity to start the career they have always wanted. The course gives them the qualifications for entry into university and the skills needed to succeed on their chosen Higher Education course. Can I afford it? Yes! With a '24+ Loan' being introduced by the government from April 2013. If you complete your HE course you won’t even have to pay the loan back (see page 2 of this Guide for details).

“I think that you are never too old to learn and at this time in my life, when my financial commitments are fewer I feel that this is the ideal time for me to take my career in a new direction” said Access student David Evans.

Our Access students have gone on to a number of different university courses: Lloyd is about to graduate as a new teacher and looking forward to starting in his new career in September. Emma and Carrie are both excited to be starting their Nursing degrees. Sarah, a student and a working mum is preparing for her Physiotherapy degree. Hannah is thrilled to have been accepted on to a Psychology degree. Sally-Anne is now in her fifth year as a qualified midwife.

It is never too late to begin a new career and now it has never been so affordable with the help of the 24+ loan. Can you afford to miss taking the next step towards your chosen career and changing your life?

Learners of all ages are eligible for free GCSE mathematics classes if they do not already hold this qualification at A* - C. GCSE Mathematics prepares

learners to function mathematically in the world and provides a thorough grounding for further study and is highly respected by employers and educational institutions.

The course is aimed at helping students achieve a C grade and follows the Edexcel GCSE Mathematics Foundation Level syllabus, although there may be an opportunity for students to be entered at the Higher Level. The GCSE will be assessed by two written exam papers in June.

Prospective students should have a minimum of Maths GCSE grade D. Students with alternative qualifications should discuss the course before registering.

Experience can be taken into account for students returning to education after a number of years in employment. All students will be assessed at the start of the course and alternative pre GCSE courses at the college may be suggested.

This is an intensive course covering the whole syllabus in 32 weeks and motivation and commitment from students is vital right from the start. There will be

regular practise of examination type questions and work will be regularly set and marked. This is an integral part of the course and students must be prepared to spend 2 hours or more per week on independent study as well as class time. Both calculator and non calculator skills are developed throughout the

course and students will require a scientific calculator.
