If you are aged 16-18, we know that leaving school may be a bit daunting, but coming to college is a great way to broaden your horizons and study what really interests you in fantastic facilities!
College isn't all about learning. You will get to meet new friends, go on trips and work experience and study in a very different atmosphere than when you were at school. You will call your lecturers by their first name and we have many specialist members of staff that are here to support you with any difficulties you may encounter, whatever they may be.
From hairdressing to motor vehicle training or animal care to A and T Levels, we are sure you'll find a course to suit you.
Every year we invest thousands of pounds in our facilities to ensure you get the best education and training we can provide. We have simulated hospital wards, a crime scene house and even an astronomy tower on the roof of the City Hub!
Every student on a Level 2 or Level 3 course are encouraged to undertake at least 30 hours of work placement. Some courses include an extended work placement of over 315 hours! These valuable opportunities are great to get a feel of the kind of work your course may lead to and sometimes our students have been offered full-time employment as a result!
Work Placements
While studying at Nottingham College, the opportunity to complete a work placement can help you stand out from the crowd when you start looking for jobs.
Work placements help you put into practice what you learn at college, develop transferable skills, help you discover what jobs you might like to do and improve your confidence.
T Levels
T Levels are a 2‑year qualification after GCSEs that will take your future to the next level!
A T Level is a nationally-recognised qualification that gives you a new choice to consider after GCSEs and are an alternative to A levels, apprenticeships and other 16 to 19 courses.
If you undertake a T Level you will spend 80% of the course at College, gaining the skills employers need. The other 20% of the course will be spent undertaking a 45-day industry placement where you will put your skills into action and gain valuable experience.
