Work Experience
You will be required to undertake work experience during your time with us. This will contribute to your study programme and allow you to have firsthand experience of what it is like to work in the industry you are interested in. You will be responsible for obtaining your own work placement and you will be required to contact companies and go through the necessary application process. Therefore we ask that you start looking now at companies you might like to work with in the future.
Placements need to be in a suitable location so that you are able to conveniently get there and as a rule of thumb a 20 mile radius of the college is advised, due to health and safety reasons.
