At Preston College we take great pride in supporting our students to achieve the qualifications, technical skills, knowledge and behaviours that employers and universities are looking for. I am delighted that you are considering joining Preston College after school. Our expert team of careers advisors and tutors will be available to provide you with advice and guidance relating to your career aspirations, ensuring that you are able to make informed decisions about the courses that we offer. Preston College provides an extensive technical and professional offer at all levels. Our strength and expertise in providing technical qualifications will enable you to achieve your goals and progress to university, an apprenticeship or employment. Alongside our traditional qualifications such as BTECs, the College provides a growing number of T Levels; these are designed to support employers in developing the workforce of the future. T Level qualifications provide a route to higher level study or employment and are the equivalent to three A Levels in terms of UCAS points. They have been developed alongside industry experts in ensuring that young people are provided with the right skills and knowledge to succeed in employment. You can find a list of the subjects that we offer and more information about T Levels on pages 12-15. Our established partnerships with local employers ensure that our programme delivery and Industry Placement is both relevant and of high quality. Our sector specialist, experienced staff and industry standard facilities make the College an exciting and enjoyable place to be, all delivered in a supportive and caring environment. On the campus, you will find a host of purpose-built facilities including our new digital suite that provides a modern space for media production, accounting, games design and digital production. We also have high quality functional science laboratories, performance studios, hair and beauty salons, and industry supported construction and engineering workshops. All our facilities have been designed to allow you to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence needed for success in the workplace. Come and see for yourself all that we have to offer at one of our Year 10 & 11 Open Events (see page 69 for details). We look forward to welcoming you to Preston College.
