GOOD NEWS!

Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC) is pleased to confirm that we have funding for a number of additional places, which has allowed us to open up additional groups on some courses. We now have several vacancies on full-time courses and apprenticeships (subject to change as we process applications).

The College is holding a special 'clearing event' for potential students this Saturday 11 September between 10am and 12pm. The event is being held at the main Knutton Lane campus - visitors should report to the main reception.

NULC Sixth Form Centre

Join the success story at Newcastle Sixth Form Centre!

Everything at our Sixth Form Centre - from the design of your study areas and the support of your personal tutor, to the adult environment and the extra-curricular timetable - is here to help you develop the confidence and independent study style you need to succeed now and at university.

Each year, around 700 bright and ambitious students choose to study at NULC Sixth Form Centre.

Vocational Courses

Vocational courses are right for you if you prefer a practical subject that gives you qualifications directly related to the job you want to do – like Business, IT, Care, Childcare, Construction, Art, Engineering, Sport, Travel, or Hair and Beauty.

People who feel more comfortable doing coursework instead of exams often choose a vocational course. You can also options open – if you do well after one year at college, you can use your new qualifications and experience to help you get a job, or you can carry on up to the next level and aim for university.

Apprenticeships

A job, money, training and good prospects?

Get it now... with an Apprenticeship at NULC.

You know what you want

You want a job and a foot on the career ladder, but you don't want to get left behind when it comes to qualifications.

You can have it all

Cash and training in return for a successful career.

Parent Zone

Deciding where and what to study after GCSEs are possibly some of the most important and life changing choices your son or daughter will make.

We understand the challenges facing them as they take the next step in their education and aim to provide you as parents with more information about the College and the services and support available.

That's why we provide a successful and friendly environment in which young people can truly flourish.

Entry Level and Foundation Programmes

NULC offers discrete programmes for young people and adults with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. There are three main programme areas:

• Life Skills 
• Independent Living Skills 
• Skills for Working Life

You will be guided onto the most appropriate course to ensure your personal needs are met.

On the Entry Level Skills for Working Life programme, we offer a range of vocational courses that include construction, sport, hospitality and catering, care and engineering. There is opportunity to progress on to further vocational courses or into voluntary or paid employment. You need to be committed to developing your independent travel skills to access work experience.
