We strongly recommend that you enrol for our advertised courses as soon as possible. This will ensure you get a place and help us assess whether we have sufficient numbers for the course to commence on the start date listed. We aim to run all of the courses advertised however, we do need a minimum number of enrolments on each class to make this possible.

The best way to join a course is to complete either the online application or enrolment form. You can find links to these on each course page. However, if you would prefer to complete an application form by hand, please do so and return it to the College, or call our Information and Guidance team on 01278 441234 and they will send you one.

Please note, that some courses may require you to complete an application form first and then attend an interview before you can enrol. Depending on the type of course and start date, there may also be options to enrol/apply online, or a telephone number for joining the course.
