Choosing the right course for you

Our courses have more of a practical side to them than courses in sixth forms and some other colleges. If you have an interest in subjects such as Biology, Physics or Maths why not explore this with one of our courses like Animal Management, Agriculture, Horticulture, Sport or Engineering? Studying a course with us will help prepare you to move onto work or higher-level study.

Industry focused courses

In addition to the practical experience you will gain whilst studying at college, our diplomas include a relevant work placement. This will give you that much needed work experience to get you started in your first job.

Our tutors are industry experts with extensive experience in their field and we’re sector leading in our choice of qualifications. We work closely with industry to drive the development of these forward-thinking qualifications. It’s these excellent links with employers which means you’ll leave college with the skills and knowledge industry wants and needs.

You can study a subject you have a real interest in, as well as gain real-life experience whilst working in our industry standard facilities – over recent years we’ve invested £80 million into state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.

Preparation for further study

If you are hoping to progress onto further study, our range of Level 3 Diplomas, T Levels and Tech Baccs offer a great alternative to A Levels and will give you the UCAS points and study skills needed if your goal is to progress on to university.

How we differ from sixth form

Our vocational programmes are academic and practical, often offer opportunities for additional qualifications and study tours and will prepare you for employment or further study. You will be studying alongside students with similar interests in a friendly, relaxed and supportive environment.

Your study programme is only one aspect of the Reaseheath Experience. Reaseheath boasts a beautiful, unique campus with extensive facilities giving you the opportunity to participate in a range of varied and exciting social and recreational activities. Many of our students make even more of their Reaseheath experience by living in our halls of residence.

Which level course is for me?

We offer a number of routes within each level to suit individual needs. You can apply for the course level based on your GCSEs or equivalent qualifications. You can find out more about our courses at course open events and taster days.

Full time courses run at different levels (Entry Level – Tech Bacc) dependent on your previous qualifications and experience. We also offer apprenticeship programmes. These programmes are ideal for those who wish to gain new qualifications whilst working.

All applications are assessed on an individual basis. When you visit the college or attend your interview, we will make sure that the level of course you are applying for is the right one for you and for your chosen career path.
