Pathways Programme

• Haven't taken GCSE exams and want to gain some qualifi cations?

• Had an interrupted education?

If any of the above apply to you, then Pathways may be the programme for you.

The Pathways Programme is a one-year course aimed at students who wish to attend college and
need to gain or improve their Level 2 qualifi cations in order to continue with their career plans. The
programme will give you the chance to:

• Achieve GCSE qualifi cations

• Achieve BTEC First, City & Guilds or equivalent qualifi cations

• Play a full part in College life, including our Enrichment programme

• Take advantage of our excellent support services to help you to achieve

The Pathways Programme consists of the following elements:

• Maths GCSE at Intermediate Level for those with a Grade D or, at Foundation Level, for those
with Grades E - G

• English GCSE for those with a Grade D, or a City & Guilds Literacy course for those with
Grades E - G

• Key Skills in Communication

• Enrichment from a range of options, which includes Sport and Performing Arts

• BTEC Introductory Certifi cate in IT

• Tutorial, including group work and one-to-one tutorials

• Learning Link, for those who might need any form of additional support with their studies

Pathways students come through a variety of routes and have individual needs. Your programmes
will be individually negotiated. For example, if you have achieved one or two GCSE results with high
grades, it may be possible to include an AS Level course as part of your programme. Your course will
be assessed through a combination of fi nal examinations and coursework, depending on the options
you choose.

Successful Pathways students will be encouraged to stay in full-time education by studying a BTEC
National Diploma or an AS/A Level programme, or you may choose an Apprenticeship. Alternatively
you may decide to move on to employment after your year at College.

The only requirement for joining the Pathways Programme is
commitment. We will need to be sure that you really want to
come to College and are prepared to commit yourself to
full attendance on your chosen programme. In return we
will guarantee as much support as you need to help you
succeed!
