No, all of our courses are ‘roll-on, roll-off’, which means that learners can start at any point during the year.
During all Key College courses, students will also cover English and Maths skills. Employers and universities value skills in English and Maths, so building on existing knowledge of these subjects will help students prepare for future careers or further study. If you are aged 16-19, and up to 24 in some instances, and have not yet achieved GCSE English Language and Maths at grade C/grade 4 or above don’t worry – we’ll support you with the right lessons to increase your confidence in these essential employability skills.

We accept learners that are aged 16-18 and up to the age of 24, with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
