Technical

Technical courses are a great way of gaining a qualification if you prefer a practical, hands-on approach to learning. They are perfect if you are looking to develop skills employers are looking for, so you have the option to go straight into employment, or progress onto university or an apprenticeship.

Technical courses are offered at different levels, starting from entry level to level 3, which are equivalent to A Levels. We also offer a wide selection of higher education courses starting at level 4 upwards.

With a technical course, you will study one main subject alongside English and/or maths GCSE if you do not achieve a grade 4 at school. This allows you to specialise in the one area you really enjoy and are interested in. From health & social care courses to construction, science and art & design,– our broad range of technical qualifications will perfectly prepare you for university, an apprenticeship or employment.

We have the following
