About Us > Welcome
welcome
Welcome to City College’s new full-time prospectus
for 2013/2014. With our success rates placing us
in the top 10 Further Education colleges in the
country and a ‘Good with Outstanding Features’ rating
from Ofsted, we promise you an excellent learning
experience in a friendly, supportive College with a
great community spirit and superb facilities.
As you may know, 2013 will be a year of big changes,
with the participation age in education and training
being raised from 16 to 17. Here at City College,
we’re adapting to these changes by offering new
courses for school leavers to give you an even wider
choice of ‘vocational courses’ which train you
for all sorts of enjoyable and rewarding careers,
whether it’s catering, games design, hairdressing,
music technology, carpentry, motor mechanics or
photography.
The College has strong links with hundreds of
employers across the region so many of our courses
include work placements alongside the work-based
training you’ll get on your course to increase your
chances of getting into the career you want. New
jobs and economic growth are going to depend on the
entrepreneurial skills of tomorrow’s workforce and at
City College, you’ll have the opportunity to work with
our new Entrepreneur-in-Residence to develop new
business ideas of your own.
We’ve also added three new BTEC National Diplomas
- Construction & the Built Environment, Beauty
Therapy and Hospitality & Events Management - to
our wide range of vocational courses. Lasting two
years, each course is equivalent to three A-levels and
is ideal for you if you’ve good GCSE results and have
the ambition and drive to enter these industries at
management level while picking up important handson
experience and skills along the way.
If you are struggling to achieve your potential at
school and may not get the GCSEs that you need to
progress then the Pathways programme is an ideal
way to gain some qualifications. This is a flexible
programme that means you can explore different
subjects and join us at various points in the year.
This is my first year as Principal at City College and
I genuinely think I’ve got the best job in Brighton,
working with a fantastic team who put students at the
heart of everything they do. If you decide that you’d
like to be part of our vibrant and welcoming College
community, I’m very much looking forward to meeting
you when you join us in September.
Lynn Thackway
Principal and Chief Executive
The College also offers Apprenticeships in many
different careers from Carpentry to Computing. Our
new Advanced Apprenticeship in Digital Media,
for example, has already proved popular and we
have employers who are keen to take on creative
and enthusiastic people who want to work in one of
Brighton’s top industries.
Our exciting new Advanced Vocational Studies
Programme gives you the opportunity to study three
different vocational options from a choice of subjects.
This enables you to develop a range of practical skills
and knowledge to gain qualifications that lead directly
into employment or provide university entrance points
equivalent to three A-levels.

what level course do I choose?
The level at which you can begin a course depends upon your previous
qualifications and experience. The entry requirements for each level of
qualification are outlined at the beginning of each industry section. Please
note that completion of the first year of a Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma
is recognised as a 90 Credit Diploma - this is similar to achieving an
AS-level after completing the first year of an A-Level.
If you are undecided or not sure which course to apply for, please contact
our Course Advice Team Tel: 01273 667759 or Email: info@ccb.ac.uk or

What will my
course lead onto?

qualification levels available
to you at City College. You
will also find a ‘What’s next?’
section on each page which
gives you an insight into
further study and careers and
jobs within that industry.

the heart of Brighton
We think that there are many reasons to come and
study here - we have great students, enthusiastic
and experienced lecturers from industry and a wide
range of excellent, professional facilities. Brighton
is one of the most creative, funky, fun and cultural
cities in the country - and City College is located right
in the heart of it. We are a vocational college, which
means that we provide training and qualifications that
are designed to give you the skills, knowledge and
experience that will prepare you for your chosen career
or university. We have recently been graded by Ofsted
as outstanding in many areas. Apply and become a part
of our success story.
Real life experience for work
Employers tell us they value skills and experience
as well as a qualification. Therefore, our courses are
designed to give you real-life experience and our
facilities reflect that - from our industry standard
training kitchens to life-size construction rigs,
specialist electrical facilities, theatre, training
restaurant and hair and beauty salons. Many of these
are open to the public and serving real clients.
New areas to study in
With over 90 courses, across 15 teaching
departments, you’ll have many new choices available
to you than ever before. City College has tons of
different courses that you might never have seen
before or are different from what your school or 6th
form has been offering. From Beauty Therapy to
Motor Vehicle to Forensic Sciences, we’re sure to
have the right option for you.
Moving on up - further courses
Each department offers a clear progression route for
you to get onto the next rung of the ladder in your
studies. We are confident that once you are here you
will enjoy your college experience and when you leave
us you will be full of the confidence and knowledge
required to take that next step.
Progressing to Higher Education
degrees at university
We’re a leading provider of vocational courses
in the South-East and in many cases, individual
department’s pass rates are way above national

City College enjoys a great reputation with local
employers and universities because of the success of
the students who have gone before you. Students who
apply to Higher Education gain places on their chosen
specialist courses at top universities and art colleges.
Have fun!
Your education and training is very important, but
that is not all that coming to college is about. City
College is more of an adult environment than school
and we will treat you as such. You will have freedom
to pursue extra-curricular activities and we run
events and activities throughout the year, such as
sports teams, fitness classes, talent shows, business

About Us > Courses English & > Maths Title 14
English
& Maths
When you finish your course at City College,
we want you to have the best possible chance
of moving onto a good job or further study.
Having good English and Maths is one of the
key things that employers look for and is often
a requirement to move onto higher levels of
education. So it is important for you to have the
best level of English and Maths skills that you
can achieve which includes retaking your GCSE
if you didn’t get Grade C first time round.
This is why continuing to study English and Maths is
part of all our vocational courses. Exactly how much
and what you study will depend on the level of your
course, your previous experiences and qualifications
and any support needs you have.
Level 1 courses
You will study both English and Maths for two hours
a week, each working towards a Functional Skills
qualification usually at Level 1.
Level 2 courses
You will study either English or Maths twice a week
for a total of three hours in a class made up of
students from a mixture of courses. If you have
already achieved GCSE grade D in either English or
Maths, you will have the chance to retake one of these
subjects. If you have grade E or below you will work
towards a Level 1 or 2 Functional Skills qualification
in either English or Maths.
This is part of your programme of study at the College.
Our specialist English or Maths lecturers will work with
you to identify which is the best qualification, subject
and level for you based on your previous study and the
relevance to the course.
Level 3 courses
If you have already got a grade D and want to
re-take your GCSE English or Maths, you will have the
opportunity to join a GCSE day time class. This is an
optional extra so the hours will be in addition to your
main qualification, so you must be prepared to commit
to take on this study, attend all classes and complete
the qualification. For some students there may also be
the option of studying in the evening.
It is possible that your past experiences may have
made you a bit nervous about studying English or
Maths, or you may lack confidence in your skills.
Therefore, we promise to make our courses interesting
and engaging and, wherever possible, relevant to your
course.
We have specialist teachers and a wide range of
resources using the latest technology and we will also
provide specialist additional support to those of you
who need some extra help.

apprenticeships

rewarding experience for both parties!

qualification to show you have the relevant skills in
your job role or you may wish to progress within the
company and an Apprenticeship qualification will
demonstrate to your managers that you are ready for
career progression.

in the South-East and we have extensive contacts in
the industry.
We work closely with employers and advertise their
vacancies on the National Apprenticeship Vacancy
Service and have a high street presence through our
City Skills & Jobs Shop.
Why should I take an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are a fantastic way of learning on the
job. While taking an Apprenticeship, you will be working

If you want to prepare yourself for
degree-level education in a supportive
environment, an Access course is the
ideal route. The courses last one year and
involve approximately three days a week
at College. A recent moderation report by
LASER commented that “City College is
clearly demonstrating best practice and
offering a great service to Access students”
and our Access students have a 94%
progression rate to Higher Education or
employment and training.
To succeed on an Access course, you’ll need to be 19
or over, motivated, enthusiastic, be able to manage your
time effectively and be ready to study. You will be
part of a group of adult students who are excited
about learning and are willing to work hard with other
members of the group and participate.
We offer a wide range of Access courses, all of which
provide an opportunity to learn more about a specific
subject area as well as core skills, so they are excellent
preparation for study at university. Forget school - you
will be learning in a friendly, community-spirited
college environment. All of your classes will be highly
engaging and enable you to be involved and assessed
by a range of methods including presentations, essays,
reports, case studies, short answer tasks, and for some
courses, practical work.
Entry requirements

study a Foundation course. Considered
to be one of the best Foundation courses
in the country, it achieves incredible

placing students at the most prestigious
universities in the country. You will be
taught by experienced specialist teachers
and practising artists and will have your
own studio space and access to specialist
studios, workshop facilities and industry
standard computer suites.
Designed to challenge your attitudes and ideas the
course will introduce you to a range of approaches

emphasis on problem-solving and critical thinking,
you will be asked to take risks, work outside your
comfort zone and be challenged to be inventive and
experimental, exploring problems from new angles and
developing your own creative solutions. The curriculum
balances taught sessions with independent learning
and development time.
Studio projects and workshops at the start of the
course will help you to find where your strengths and
interests lie and decide on which specialist pathway to
pursue: fine art, fashion, textiles, 3D design, graphics,
and illustration. Within your chosen specialist pathway,
you receive help and advice from experienced tutors
with making a UCAS application and preparing a
strong portfolio of work for degree course application.
The Foundation course facilitates progression onto a
wide range of specialist art and design degree courses
throughout the country.
Entry requirements
You will need an A2 Level qualification A* to C grade
in an art related subject, five GCSEs A* to C grade or
other related experience and a strong portfolio of art
and design work.

This course bridges the gap between A-level and

skills. Exciting assignment briefs will introduce
you to both traditional photographic methods and
contemporary digital media techniques and applications
and will introduce you to different photographic genres

location, and documentary.
Throughout the course you will be encouraged to
push the boundaries of your creative thinking and will
develop your knowledge of historical and contemporary
photographers to inform your own photography practice.
You will gain experience of what it is like to work in the
industry through competitions, entrepreneurial projects,
employer partnerships and ‘real life’ projects. Whatever
type of photography you wish to pursue, professional
working practice skills are essential. Professional
