Boston College

 

Provision for 14 - 16 year olds

Boston College was one of the first colleges to work with local schools to provide vocational training opportunities for GCSE-age students . The pilot scheme was so successful, 14-16 provision has now become an established part of the college"s offer.
 
We now have numerous students visiting the college each week to follow vocational courses that complement their GCSE options. By the time the learners have taken their GCSEs they can also have achieved a vocational course that could give them entry to a college course at a higher level post-GCSE.
 
For those learners who no longer attend mainstream schools, we also provide full-time opportunities, information can be found via the Real Skills link. (Real Skills Programme)

Provision for 14-19 Year Olds

Employers have been heard, and through the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) Boston College has been able to introduce a new range of subjects that combine practical and theoretical learning for those aged between 14-19 years.
Due to demand for particular subjects we have introduced the following:
  • Construction and built environment
  • Society, health and development
  • Creative arts and media
  • Engineering

One of these diplomas could give you the skills you need for university, training or work, and is the first step towards a future career in your chosen sector.
