Application Process
INITIAL CONTACT WITH PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
We work closely with all the Jersey schools by visiting pupils in years 10 and 11. We also arrange whole year group visits and open nights for parents and pupils. We produce course information sheets, prospectuses and the schools’ Careers staff visit the College as a group or independently in order to keep informed about new developments.
We do all of this to raise the awareness of applicants and their parents of the courses we offer, links to local and national employment and going on to Higher Education.
THE APPLICATION PROCESS
The first step in the application process is for prospective students to submit an application form for the programme of study in which they are interested. Prospective students can apply for more than one course.
For schools’ pupils the completion and submission of application forms is organised through their school’s Careers Teacher.
Mature students should contact Student Services on 608654 for an application form or download from here.
Most courses have entry requirements. Normally these requirements are necessary but not sufficient or the sole conditions of entry. Possession of these requirements does not guarantee a place as places may be limited and so an early application is recommended. Late applicants may have a reduced number of programmes of study to choose from.
By various means the College and its staff try to ensure that all relevant information about the programmes is made available to prospective students well before an application is made, including any specific entry requirements that may apply. This can be via careers staff in schools, school visits, our prospectus, leaflets explaining the programmes in detail etc.
When the College receives an application an interview is arranged with the appropriate specialist tutors as soon as possible.
Applicants will be given interviews for their 1st and 2nd choice of course. Should students wish to be interviewed for a further course this should be discussed with their Careers Teacher or directly with Student Services.
