Diplomas
National Diplomas
These courses give students the qualification they need for finding employment or to go on to university. Each course is equivalent to three ‘A’ levels.
First Diplomas
First Diplomas provide a knowledge base for a range of careers and develop students’ skills and the personal qualities needed in all aspects of working life. You would study one of the courses for one year and then progress to the National Diploma course or to employment
Introductory Diplomas
These are one year courses and a better choice if your GCSEs are mostly at grades F or G. This course allows you to test out a career area before making a choice for the next level, which could be the First Diploma or employment.

"A lot of people from my school had gone to JC, but the college also gives you time to meet new people. The atmosphere is great. There’s so much space in the building to sit and read and it helps you to fix things in your mind."
