What’s Your Starting Point?
You don’t need qualifications to join many of the introductory
programmes at John Wheatley College. However, if you do
have previous qualifications or work experience, this will be
taken into account when you discuss the options available to
you and you’re choosing your own study level.
Our portfolio of programmes can be studied at a variety of
levels – Access level 2 and 3, National Certificate, Higher
National Certificate, Access to Higher Education and
Professional Development Awards.
Why not check out our learning grid to find out
your real starting point.
Learning – as INDIVIDUAL as you
Learners at John Wheatley College each follow an individual programme - even if they’re taught as part of a class. During an informal interview with a programme tutor and a member of the Advice Team, learners can choose a programme to suit their own needs. At enrolment, all learners will open an Individual Learning Plan, which is updated on a regular basis throughout their time at College.
The Choice is Yours…
The range of programmes offered can be studied from 2
hours to 21 hours per week.
It is up to each learner to decide whether they would like to
study on a full-time or part-time programme, depending on
their own needs.
Some learners may wish to commit to a full-time
programme. It is possible to achieve a complete National
Certificate Award in one academic year with the programme
of study divided into 3 blocks and some time left for catching
up with work and assessments.
A student may attend the College for up to 21 hours per
week with the opportunity to attend more often for extra help
with their studies. Normally, a student attending in this way
would apply for a College bursary. This will always be
explained to you at your interview. However, very large
numbers of part-time learners enrol at the College each
year. These students are able to plan their programmes of
study to meet their own particular requirements and
availability. College staff will be pleased to assist students in
setting out an appropriate learning plan.
All students are encouraged to use the College libraries and
flexible learning centres for private study at other times.
