Courses and Apprenticeships

PAGE REFERENCE

Many new jobs and new businesses are set to be created across the region over the next few years as part of ambitious economic growth plans.

Plans include the creation of the UK’s first Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District, between Rotherham and Sheffield, to develop world class talent, entrepreneurs, innovators and investors.

Key growth areas will include advanced manufacturing and logistics as well as business services, financial services, construction and low carbon industries, among many others.

These high quality jobs will demand higher level skills with increased levels of technical training. This was one of the key reasons for the RNN Group opening our University Centre Rotherham (UCR) in 2018.

Exciting Times Ahead From September 2019 we are launching

a range of Higher Apprenticeships and management qualifications at the UCR to help meet this regional skills need. This offers excellent progression opportunities into Higher Education in Rotherham to give you the skills needed to succeed.

You can find out in which industries the number of jobs are predicted to grow in the region and average pay for a range of job roles – all very useful when you are thinking about potential career choices.

You will also see what our current students think about college life here and read about the many opportunities they enjoy including work placements, trips and competitions.

I would encourage you to take advantage of one of our open events in the months ahead to come and meet our industry expert tutors, ask any questions you have and tour our fantastic industry-standard facilities.

When you visit North Notts College you will be able to see, for example, an AM2 centre - one of only 38 in the country, the National Fluid Power Centre, our working commercial hair and beauty salon, and a gym and fitness suite for staff and students.

Our Retford Post-16 Centre also boasts art studios and media make up, performing arts and sports facilities.

Hopefully you will be inspired to join our high-flying alumni and make one of our colleges your college.

Where do I study? On a technical course you are a full-time student, so will carry out the majority of your studying on campus. You may get the opportunity to have a work-based placement as part of your course. You will be taught by tutors with industry skills and experience and you’ll learn in high quality, purpose-built facilities that simulate a real working environment.

What type of qualification will I get? Technical courses at Level 3 are equivalent to A-Levels and are worth UCAS points, which means you can progress on to university after completion. They are mostly assessed by project work over the course of the year and can involve some exams and tests depending on the qualification. Technical courses at Entry, Level 1 and Level 2 also help students develop their skills and move towards work or higher-level courses.

New courses From 2020 onwards, new technical qualifications called T-Levels will be developed by industry professionals and will be offered as a two-year course or as an apprenticeship. They will give students the knowledge and practical skills needed to progress into skilled employment at Level 3 and above, or higher levels of technical training. The first T-Levels introduced will be in digital, construction, education and childcare.

Did you know? Our students have lots of contact with the ‘real world’ of employers and business through work experience, talks, visits or real-life projects. Students may also be involved in activities that develop skills of enterprise and entrepreneurship and take part in competitions.

Technical courses

Both technical (or vocational) courses and apprenticeships are designed to give you the skills and theory you need to succeed in your chosen career.But what are the key differences between them? And which is best for you?

What’s the Difference Between an Apprenticeship and a Technical Course?

Where do I study? As an apprentice you are an employee of the company taking you on during your apprenticeship. You will earn a wage while you learn, working alongside experienced staff to gain sector specific skills. You will also spend time in college on day release and be assessed by tutors in your workplace.

What type of qualification will I get? What type of qualification will I get? You will build up experience and knowledge that will help you to work towards achieving a nationally recognised qualification, with a Level 3 apprenticeship being the equivalent to a vocational course or A-Levels. Some apprenticeships can now even be studied up to degree level, giving you the opportunity to gain a university qualification without the student debt. Apprenticeships are available in a wide range of subjects including engineering, health and social care, construction, business, hair and beauty, IT, and motor vehicle.

New apprenticeships Rotherham College and Dearne Valley College work in partnership with RNN Training to deliver a wide range of apprenticeships. From September 2019 a number of new Higher Apprenticeships are being launched including: Level 5 Operations/Department Manager; Level 5 HR Consultant/Partner; Level 5 Healthcare Assistant Practitioner and Level 6 Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship, delivered at University Centre Rotherham.

Financial Support

Educational Health and Care Plan (EHCP)

Students aged 19 to 24 who are in receipt of an EHCP do not have to pay tuition fees and are eligible for the 16-19 Bursary and possibly free college meals.

EHCP students aged 25 can access financial support from the Learner Support Fund. ALS and other course related costs can be agreed and supported by the Local Authority (e.g. special transport).

Learner Support Fund (19+)

Students aged 19 and over may need to pay fees and other costs towards their education. The fees are set by the college at the start of each year and are based on the level of funding provided by the Government.

Many adult students however are entitled to financial support with their courses, including a complete waiver of fees in certain circumstances. Due to the changing nature of government funding and the complex rules surrounding fees, please speak to Student Services for the latest details. Some support may be in the form of vouchers. You may be eligible to receive a contribution towards costs including:

• Travel

• Equipment costs

• Childcare costs

• UCAS application

• Awarding body and tuition fees

• Other associated study costs.

You will need to complete an application form available on our college websites or from Student Services reception and provide evidence of household income.

Advanced Learner Loan

If you are aged 19 or above and are looking to study a Level 3 or Level 4 course, the Advanced Learner Loan is available to support with the cost of some or all of your course fees. The loan does not have to be paid back until you are earning over £27,000 a year.

For more details visit: gov.uk/advanced-learner-loan

If you take out an Advanced Learner Loan you may be eligible for financial support from the college. Collect an application form or contact Student Services for more information.

Students aged 19+

The details may vary from year to year so please visit the Student Support section of your chosen college website for the latest information or visit our Student Services department.
