Preparation Studies (Vocational Link) course is designed to give you a solid introduction to vocational education, helping you explore and choose the right pathway within mainstream college. As a stepping stone to further study, this Level 1 course equips you with the essential skills and knowledge to progress confidently into your chosen vocational area.

During the course, you'll work towards the Certificate in Skills for Employment, Training, and Personal Development (NOCN), helping you build the skills needed for employment and future training. If you're unsure about which vocational route to pursue, this course provides the perfect opportunity to explore your options and prepare for the next step in your educational journey.

In order to support those doing this, the Foundation department works with the Level 1 course areas to offer a course that gives you some time in both areas.
