Please apply online via the orange button. If you are already a student at Barnet Southgate College, ask your tutor to refer you. Contact the Curriculum Manager, Helen Brown: helen.brown@barnetsouthgate.ac.uk. We look forward to meeting you!
Will I need an interview ?
Yes - but it is more of a discussion than an interview. We want to open the doors that are closed to you right now and an important part of this is seeing you in person and discussing how we can help. You will also sit an English and Maths assessment to help us establish your level. Please bring any exam, qualification certificates and support documents to interview.
Any extra costs for equipment/materials ?
You only need to provide basic equipment such as pens, paper, folders, calculators etc. We will supply the rest.
