Claims for Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) and Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) are actively supported. The APEL process may facilitate fast tracking on to awards.

Applicants under 21 will need GCSE Grade C or equivalent in English Language and normally also in Maths.

The following entry qualifications are also recognised:-

GCE/VCE Advanced Level and New Nationals. One six-unit qualification at Advanced level, plus three other subjects at GCSE grade C or above.
National Certificate/Diploma or suitable bridging course in a qualification relevant to the course chosen.
