This 8-week course held at our Gloucester Campus is designed to prepare you for the next stage in your education and/or working life.

You will have the opportunity to complete an Ascentis L1 Award in Progression which consists of two units of work (Equality and Diversity and Preparing for a Recruitment Interview) as well as looking at a range of other topics based around employability skills, including organization and time management, customer service and assertiveness.
If you have not yet secured a Grade 4 at GCSE in English and/or Maths (or equivalent), you will have the opportunity to attend discrete sessions on a weekly basis with subject specialist tutors, who will help you improve your skills in these areas.

Uniformed Public Services
GC offers a wide range of real emergency service and armed forces experiences as part of the uniformed public services course. This has led to many former students going on to join the emergency services (Police, Fire and Ambulance Service) and the armed forces (Army, RAF or the Royal Navy) upon successful completion of their course.
