14-16 Year Old Learners

If you are aged 14-16 we are currently working with schools in Gateshead to improve your choices and opportunities.

As part of your Key Stage 4 school curriculum, you can study a wide range of vocational courses including motor vehicle, construction, plumbing, hospitality and catering, hairdressing, engineering, childcare and lots more.

This is ideal if you want a practical option where you learn the specific skills needed for the career you want to follow.

You can work towards a nationally accredited qualification at Level 1 or Level 2.  These provide you with a good grounding for further study or employment.

As a student studying with us you will be based at one of our world class facilities.
