What the college says

Do you want to get on in the science sector but need to brush on some skills before you can move onto a level 3 course? Our one year intensive course covers GCSE English and maths plus the three separate sciences: GCSE Biology, GCSE Chemistry and GCSE Physics. This is an interesting, enjoyable yet demanding course that enables students to improve upon their previous GCSE grades. You will have the opportunity to enhance your understanding of scientific theory and its applications alongside developing your practical skills. If you are aged 16-18, you will be enrolled on a study programme which will include retaking GCSEs or undertaking Functional Skills in English and maths if you haven't already achieved a grade 4 or above. You will also be required to complete a work experience placement and an employability programme.
