Finding the right course for you<br />
<strong>College</strong> is more than just a course, it’s your next step to success! Whether you’re an<br />
aspiring graphic designer, care assistant, tree surgeon or personal trainer to name<br />
a few ideas, <strong>Shipley</strong> <strong>College</strong> can help you get there! We understand that everyone<br />
learns differently, so to help you decide what’s right for you, read on...<br />
BTEC Study Programme<br />
Do you have a specific career in mind?<br />
Choosing a BTEC gives you the chance to tailor<br />
your education to follow your passion. You will gain<br />
hands-on experience in the subject that interests you<br />
the most. These courses take a practical approach<br />
to studying, with a combination of coursework and<br />
assessed units. Choosing a BTEC course can open<br />
doors to university, an apprenticeship or the first<br />
step in your chosen career.<br />
What you need to know:<br />
• <strong>Full</strong>-<strong>time</strong> BTEC students study approximately<br />
16 hours a week at our campus in Saltaire.<br />
• You will have the opportunity to gain experience<br />
of work both at the <strong>College</strong> and through external<br />
work placements.<br />
• Level 3 BTEC grades are equivalent to A Levels,<br />
which means you can earn UCAS points which<br />
support entry to university.<br />
Traineeships<br />
An alternative route to employment<br />
Are you 16-24 but still not sure what is right for you?<br />
We know it is not always easy to find the right role<br />
for you, especially when you have little or no work<br />
experience and few qualifications. Traineeships help<br />
bridge the gap between the skills that you have and<br />
those that employers need.<br />
Apprenticeships<br />
Would you like to earn while you learn?<br />
As an apprentice you will work, learn and achieve<br />
your qualification whilst gaining invaluable work and<br />
industry experience. This means you will have the<br />
opportunity of starting your career working within<br />
your chosen area and gaining the skills, knowledge<br />
and behaviours which employers look for.<br />
What you need to know:<br />
• Anyone aged 16+ can apply for an apprenticeship.<br />
• You will be employed and paid directly by a<br />
company while studying for your qualification.<br />
• Most apprentices will be in work for four days plus<br />
one day at <strong>College</strong> each week.<br />
• Your apprenticeship can take between one and<br />
two years to complete.<br />
• The minimum salary is currently £3.70 per hour,<br />
however, many employers pay significantly more.<br />
• A Level 3 Apprenticeship is equivalent to 2-3<br />
A Levels which can lead to, or be an alternative to,<br />
university.<br />
Still not sure?<br />
Think about what subjects you enjoy, your interests<br />
or what inspires you. Where would you like college<br />
to take you - a job or university? Talk to careers<br />
advisors, friends and family too.<br />

A few highlights from the year<br />
Travel students say hola! to<br />
Costa del Sol<br />
Ten Level 3 Travel & Tourism students enjoyed<br />
valuable work experience in the Costa del Sol in<br />
association with major tour operator, Tui.<br />
Students gained crucial knowledge about the<br />
varied roles of holiday advisors, day<strong>time</strong> and<br />
evening entertainers for families & children and<br />
overseas airport operations. They visited key<br />
destinations in southern Spain including Marbella,<br />
Puerto Banus, Benalmadena and Fuengirola,<br />
where students experienced a festival, bringing<br />
together traditions of over 30 countries.<br />
“Having the chance to go on this trip to gain work<br />
experience has helped me improve my confidence,<br />
which will help me in my future career.”<br />

Tour de Yorkshire cycling success<br />
<strong>College</strong> student Reece endured 128km (80 miles)<br />
of tough roads and hills on the Maserati Tour de<br />
Yorkshire route. He was awarded the medal for 3rd<br />
place in the under <strong>20</strong>s category, completing the<br />
route in an impressive 6 hours & 31 minutes.<br />
“I was passed down a bicycle from my dad who is a<br />
keen cyclist. He gave me my first mountain bike aged<br />
9 and then my first road bike aged 14. Since then I<br />
have always loved cycling because I get to see the<br />
fantastic scenery Yorkshire has to offer and be part of<br />
Yorkshire’s great cycling tradition.”<br />

Wish you were here at the Saltaire<br />
Arts Trail<br />
In May, Level 3 Business students worked with<br />
Saltaire Inspired to organise one of the popular<br />
exhibitions at the Saltaire Arts Trail event.<br />
As part of their work experience, students<br />
Shahzaman and Amaan catalogued, organised and<br />
promoted an exhibition of handcrafted postcards<br />
sent in by members of the public. The sale of the<br />
postcards raised over £400 for The Cellar Trust,<br />
a social enterprise based in <strong>Shipley</strong> helping people<br />
recover from mental health problems.<br />
Premier Farnell Award for ‘Dataface’<br />
Software Development & Programming students<br />
took part in the prestigious Premier Farnell<br />
competition organised by the Ahead Partnership.<br />
They used a Raspberry Pi to invent supportive<br />
facial recognition technology to help those who<br />
have dementia. The software would identify<br />
visitors who rang their doorbell. If the visitor was<br />
not recognised, an alert would be sent to their<br />
carer.<br />
The regional final took place in Leeds with 13<br />
teams and <strong>Shipley</strong> <strong>College</strong> took home the People’s<br />
Choice Award including a trophy and vouchers.<br />
The students did us proud with their confident<br />
and enthusiastic presentation.<br />

Baildon Rugby Club in the spotlight<br />
Creative Media students worked with Baildon<br />
Rugby Club to produce a number of short videos<br />
to promote different aspects of the club and to<br />
assist with player recruitment. Students filmed<br />
matches and interviewed players, supporters,<br />
sponsors and parents.<br />
The videos were released over several months on<br />
various social media platforms and have received<br />
support from as far away as women’s rugby in<br />
Norway.<br />
Art students inspire Young Masters<br />
Some of our Art & Design students have been<br />
volunteering at the award-winning Young Masters<br />
Visual Art School based in <strong>Shipley</strong> which provides<br />
primary school children with classes in painting,<br />
drawing and sculpture.<br />
This collaboration has enabled our students<br />
to access work experience in teaching art and<br />
exhibition preparation, which is a fantastic<br />
opportunity for them.<br />
“It has been a pleasure to work with <strong>Shipley</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
and help in the development of students with their<br />
first project in this area.”<br />
