What will happen at my appointment?
Once you have applied to study a course, you will be invited to attend an assessment appointment where our team will carry out an initial assessment to make sure that you join a course at the right level for you. You will also have the opportunity to find out more about your chosen course. You will be able to advise us of any additional support that you may need and have the opportunity to discuss your long-term career goals.
Appointments will typically last around one hour per subject area. So, if you wish to study more than one subject i.e. English and maths, appointment times will be longer.
Please bring the following documents with you to your appointment:
- Photo ID (accepted documents include passport, driving licence and/or travel pass)
- Proof of your address (utilities bill, official letter etc.)
- Proof of UK residency (if you’ve lived in the UK for less than three years)
- Your National Insurance number
- Proof of any benefits you receive
- Certificates for any qualifications you hold e.g., English and maths
