aPPlying for a Course

The step-by-step approach below shows how the application process works at a glance, read on for further detail.
If you are interested in a course, you first need to complete the application form, which can be found towards the back page. This does not fully commit you, but it does allow us to start making arrangements for you to come and talk to us. Although it helps to have your application in early remember that its never too late to apply. Please note that some course areas, particularly construction related courses are very popular and places are in high demand. If you are interested in this particular field an early application is recommended. Every course has a recommended entry requirement, for example, four GCSEs at grade C including English and Maths. However, equivalent qualifications may be acceptable, so please put all your qualifications on your application form. Entry requirements are guidelines only and we do not always base our decisions about course offers on qualifications or expected exam results alone. Your hobbies, interests and personal achievements are also of interest to us, which is why we ask you to outline them in your application form. During your interview the course tutor will use this information to assess your suitability for the course. Even if it is not a specific requirement of the course you have applied for, City College Coventry believes that for all courses it is to your advantage to achieve a pass at A* - C in English and Maths GCSE prior to attending your chosen programme of study at the College. If however, you do not come to the college with above grades in English and Maths there will be the opportunity to study these or a similar qualification. If you are accepted on the course with less than the recommended entry requirements, you may be required to take part in an additional programme of study. This will help you develop the skills needed to be successful on your course.

The second three units taken in the second year of study are called A2 and need to be completed to make up the full A level. An A2 is not a qualification in its own right. City College Coventry is the biggest further education provider of A levels in the city and offers a wide range of AS and A2 programmes. In their first year, students normally choose four subjects and take their three best subjects into the second year to A2 level.

from Cruella deville to an avant garde Bride on the City College CatWalk
Hair and beauty students at City College Coventry have produced a high-energy fashion show that pushed the boundaries and demanded attention. With a theme of Equality and Diversity, designed to allow total flexibility, the students let their creative imaginations run wild as they brought to life their own designs. There were demons, unicorns, designs inspired by sweet shops, candy floss and the Arabian Knights and Cruella Daville and Rapunzel were side by side on the catwalk. The students produced every element from make-up and costumes to the integral hair ornamentation that included the dramatic wefts of hair required for the Avant Garde pieces. Speaking of her admiration for the hard work and commitment shown by all the students, course organiser Karen Walls said: The students and tutor team put in an incredible amount of time and effort in the weeks preceding the show. They worked as a unit to quickly tackle any hiccups along the way and put on a spectacular, eye-catching show and their team spirit meant they actively encouraged and supported each other. Im incredibly proud of them. The hair and beauty students collaborated with those studying performing arts, media and photography to put on the final show. Those doing media studies produced professional VTs of the catwalk show; the performing arts students choreographed and performed a series of dances designed to highlight the central creations and the photographic students took a series of stills that are now displayed throughout the College.

With an Apprenticeship, you can earn while youre learning and gain recognised qualifications as you work. The world is changing fast. With fierce competition for jobs theres never been a better time to have marketable skills. But you dont need to sit in a class all day to get them. With an Apprenticeship you can earn while youre learning and gain recognised qualifications as you work. As employees, apprentices earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off the job, usually on a day-release basis, apprentices receive training to work towards nationally recognised qualifications. Anyone living in England, over 16 and not in full-time education can apply. Apprenticeships can take between one and four years to complete depending on the level of Apprenticeship, the apprentices ability and the industry sector. The minimum salary is 2.65 per hour; however, many apprentices earn significantly more. City College Coventry has a range of apprenticeships in the following areas to help launch your career;
