Take the next step to your new career The transition back into civilian life can be a difficult one for service personnel. Wiltshire College offers a variety of courses to assist you in making that change.

Use your Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) to start your training programme 2 years before your intended leaving date, and for up to 10 years after leaving.

You can combine it with your Individual Resettlement Training Cost (IRTC) to pay your 20% contribution.

Specialist Advice With 2 years to go before you join civilian life, it’s time to think about what career you want to pursue. Wiltshire College delivers hundreds of training courses and accredited qualifications spanning all levels from Level 3 (A Level equivalent) to degree level.

If you’re unsure about your future career, Wiltshire College has a team of Adult Careers Advisors who will give impartial advice and guidance to help you make an informed decision.

If you already have your career path mapped out, speak to us about how we can help you to achieve this through training.

Remember, you can start preparing to leave the Armed Forces by using your ELC and begin your training 2 years before your leaving date.

University Level Courses Access to HE Diploma

Access courses are intended for adults who do not have A Levels or Level 3 qualifications. The course enables you to prepare for, and gain entry to, degree and other Higher Education programmes. You may have some qualifications already, for example GCSEs or an A Level, but not enough to get into university.

Degrees

Foundation Degrees

HNCs

HNDs

Degrees are awarded as an ordinary degree or Honours Degree (Hons), either as a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BSc), depending on whether a dissertation or research project is undertaken. The title of the degree depends on the subject you choose and the education institution that awards the qualification.

Foundation Degrees (FDs) can offer a more accessible route into university. They are equivalent to the first two years of a degree course and a qualification in their own right. Usually designed with input from employers, these courses ensure that on completion of their Foundation Degree, learners can make an immediate contribution to their workplace. Students often then choose to top up their qualifications either by joining the third year of a degree, or a specifically designed ‘top up’ qualification.

Higher National Certificate (HNC) courses normally take one year full-time or two years part-time and can be used as entrance to the second year of a degree course or more commonly, topped up to an HND with a further year of study.

Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) are a practical vocationally-focused qualification, usually studied over two years, full-time or three years, part-time and like foundation degrees, can be converted to a full degree by completion of a final year.

Animal Science & Management This course will provide you with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge required for a range of careers within the animal care industry.
