College, sixth form and apprenticeship application process

It is recommended that students should visit at least one provider before completing their Post 16 application.

Prospectuses are provided within the “Careers – Your Future” resource box which can be found in your Personal Tutor classroom.

Alternatively, you can view the courses and entry requirements directly from the Post-16 providers website.

Applications for Post-16 need to be completed using the providers website. You can complete your application either with the Careers Advisor during your guidance meeting or with your personal tutor.
