Application Guide

There are a number of ways that you can apply for one of our courses:

  • Full time applications
    If you are 16-18 or an adult you will often apply through our Enterprise platform.
  • Part-time applications
    If you are applying for a part-time qualification then you will normally apply via our Enterprise platform
  • Short courses
    If you are applying for a short course you may just be asked to register your interest, purchase your place via Eventbrite or apply via our online application tool. Either way you will be guided through the steps to apply or purchase your course.
