It’s quite challenging but it’s an exciting

experience. You get to achieve things

you probably thought you never would,

and it gives you a great sense of

self-accomplishment.

From my experience I’ve enjoyed

the opportunity to meet new people

and being able to take part in all the

different activities and groups available.

I would definitely recommend it to any

new students joining the college who

want to see what the college has to offer

them in addition to their course.


You must remember that studying isn’t

everything and sometimes you just need

a break. Going to the clubs and college

groups you will learn something new but

it’s also a place where you can just relax

and be yourself.

Take risks and do something that might

push you out of your comfort zone because

you’ll find things out about yourself that

will help you to achieve new things.

Definitely get involved with any of the

groups. I think it’s such a massive chance

that other colleges don’t provide but it’s

something that is going to make you stand

out on your personal statement and your CV.

It’s also about joining in with the community

and having a voice.

12 |


When you join us, you enrol on much more than just a course. Our

students told us they want to develop their skills and personal

character just as much as their subject knowledge.

That's why, in collaboration with our students, we have developed

a personal and professional development programme to ensure

you make the most of your time in college and prepare for the

next stage in your career and life journey.

We also partner with a range of community organisations

to offer you unique opportunities to develop your skills and

experiences. Just some of these opportunities from our

partners include tutorial delivery, bespoke workshops, cultural

opportunities and development of confidence and resilience,

which we believe will support you in your future life choices and

career options.

All you have to do is GET Involved.

College

Extra


Our Sports Enrichment programme

is run during lunchtime. Meet new

people, get fit and take part in

activities such as table tennis and

badminton to football, basketball,

dodgeball and more.

If you are passionate about

changing things for the better,

from sustainability and the climate

to issues affecting you and your

community, join one of our many

Clubs and Councils who challenge

and debate important topics with

senior public figures from local

industry and government.

If you want to improve your student

experience and develop your

confidence and leadership skills, get

involved as a Student Leader, Course

Rep or Ambassador where you can

make your voice, and that of your

fellow students, heard loud and clear.

If you would like to give something

back to your local community, from

helping those in need through

our Community College Kitchen,

to sharing your own skills and

knowledge with local residents as

part of our ‘Welcome Wednesday’

programme, get involved!

But don’t take our word for it. Look

out for our GET Involved case studies

throughout the prospectus and

scan the QR code to hear from our

students.

FUNDING & FINANCE SUPPORT

We have a range of financial support packages that you may be able to access depending

during your studies.

JUST ASK!

COMMUNITY COLLEGE KITCHEN

We are well aware, as an organisation, of the challenges our students and

their families face each day.

In responding to that we have developed a co-operative in partnership

with our community partners, to help remove the everyday barriers to a

successful student experience.

We are proud to be able to offer a “just ask” service, which our students

can access discreetly from their student SharePoint, where they can

request everyday items which may have created a barrier to their focus

on education. Items include food staples,

personal hygiene products, hot meal

vouchers and any other essentials.

This cooperative way of working means our

students can access the support they need

and in addition, have the opportunity to

support their community by volunteering.

A LEVELS

A Levels are studied over two years and you

will generally choose three subjects to study.

Some A Levels have coursework but are

mostly graded through exams. A Levels are a

great option if you want to learn more about

subjects you’re interested in, in greater depth,

but don’t want to specialise in a particular

subject yet. Studying A Levels can lead to

university, training, further study, degree

apprenticeships or employment.

VOCATIONAL

COURSES

Vocational courses help you to develop realworld

knowledge, experience and skills. These

courses are a great choice if you already have

an idea of your future career and will give

you a head start when applying to university

or looking for employment after you finish

with us. Vocational courses may have some

examined elements but are mostly assessed

by coursework.


We have a variety of different study routes available and it’s difficult to know

which one would suit you best. Take a look at the information to get an idea

of how the routes are different and which one you might prefer. You can also

chat to one of our School Liaison Officers who are out visiting schools or our

Careers Team at one of our Open Events if you have any questions about the

right route for you.

APPRENTICESHIPS

T LEVELS

Looking to start work now? Then an

apprenticeship could be for you. You’ll learn

on the job and pick up a recognised industry

standard apprenticeship qualification. You

will earn a salary and spend 20% of your

apprenticeship completing necessary training

and courses to support you in your role.

T Levels are a relatively new qualification and

are a high level, technical alternative to

A Levels. Like A Levels, they are studied over

two years, but they combine the careerfocused

elements of vocational courses

with the theory and study of A Levels. A key

feature of T levels is their extended industry

placement where you will spend at least 45

days with a local employer, relevant to your

chosen area of study.

20 | TSCG MINI COURSE GUIDE

An apprenticeship is a real job where the student,

who is called an apprentice, learns specific skills and

understanding, gains experience and gets paid.

An apprentice is an employee with a contract of employment and holiday leave. By the end of an

apprenticeship, the successful apprentice will have the right skills and knowledge needed for their

chosen career. It can take between one and six years to complete an apprenticeship depending on

which programme is chosen, what level it is and the apprentice’s previous experience.

Each apprenticeship has a defined contents and structure which is referred to as the ‘standard’. The

‘standard’ ensures that all apprenticeships offered by different providers have the same outcome.

WHAT SUBJECT CAN I STUDY?

The Trafford & Stockport College Group offers over 50

standards. An apprentice will have training provided by

expert staff, as well as being mentored and supported by

their employer. The employer and the college will work

together to ensure that the training package meets the

needs of both the employer and the apprentice. In turn,

this will support the apprentice to become occupationally

competent in their chosen career.

A NEW CAREER-FOCUSED ALTERNATIVE TO A LEVELS AT

CHEADLE, MARPLE, TRAFFORD AND STOCKPORT COLLEGE

EQUIVALENT TO 3 A LEVELS

A 45-DAY INDUSTRY PLACEMENT

80% CLASSROOM, 20% WORK

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

5 GCSEs grade 4 or above including

English and maths.

T levels are a new advanced level qualification

that have been designed to offer you a world class

technical education. They are a high quality

technical alternative to A levels, and other

16-19 courses, and can take you straight

to skilled employment, as well as

offer progression to higher level

apprenticeships or degree level study

at university.

T levels combine the career focus and

practical elements of professional or

vocational qualifications like BTECs,

along with the theory and study of A

levels, giving you the chance to experience

the world of work and your future career

while you continue with your studies.

T levels are a great choice if you want to

achieve an advanced level of technical

excellence in your chosen field and like the

idea of developing your technical skills in both

the classroom and the workplace.
