Reasons to study this course.

You will study customer service, communications, finance and selling. You will also get the chance to learn about the travel and tourism industry.

What you will need to study this course

• You should have a range of GCSEs at Grade D/E or 3/2 in English and Maths with at least one GCSE at Grade C or Grade 4 and an average GCSE score of 3 or better.
• You will also need to have a keen interest in your chosen vocational area and be determined to succeed.

What you will study

More than 50% of your programme will be made up of a vocational specialism leading to either a BTEC Level 2 or OCR Level 2 qualification.

How you will be assessed

Most of the vocational Level 2 programmes are assessed through coursework and external assessments. However, some programmes are assessed through coursework alone. For your coursework assessments a variety of methods will be used including written work, oral presentations, posters, group tasks and, where appropriate, practical performance.

Priestley Extra

Alongside your main vocational programme you will be able to take one or more of the following:

English and/or Maths up to GCSE Every student who does not have a GCSE Grade 4 (Grade C pre 2017) or above in English and/or Maths will have to work towards achieving a Grade 4 whilst some students with a Grade 4 could choose to aim to improve to a Grade 5 or above. For those with a Grade 3 this will mean taking a one year re-sit programme whilst those with less than a Grade 3 will be able to take a pre- GCSE course to develop your skills. To help us place you on the right English and/or Maths programme all students without a GCSE grade 4 in English and/or Maths will be required to take specialist diagnostic assessments. (see page 28 for details of GCSE provision).

Many students who already have a GCSE Grade 4 or above in English and/or Maths will also be able to take the Higher Project Qualification. This course will help to develop your all round study and research skills based around a personal project of your own choice. If you make an excellent start to your time at Priestley you may be able to take this at AS Level (the Extended Project qualification) to give you a real head start when you move on to Level 3 work.

All students at Priestley are able to take part our broad range of enrichment activities including sport teams, the Duke of Edinburgh Award and performance groups.

All students taking a Level 2 vocational programme will also have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of work related learning activities. These will include visits to and from relevant employers and the opportunity to take up work placement opportunities that will be organised and monitored by the college. You will also benefit from trips and visits related to your chosen area of study and from a broad range of visiting speakers including past successful students.

Progression

The majority of students who complete our Level 2 programme progress to one of our Level 3 courses. To progress to Level 3 you will need to obtain merit grades in your vocational programme and make good progress where appropriate in English and/or Maths and have a good attendance record. Other students progress directly into employment with training or to a range of apprenticeships.

What the students say

For more information about the Foundation Programme take some time to read through this booklet. It outlines the different options available, the key stills you will develop and what a Foundation Programme can lead onto.

Is buying essays online safe.

Shopping through online platforms is a highly controversial issue. Naturally, you cannot be completely sure when placing an order through an unfamiliar site, with which you have never cooperated. That is why we recommend that people contact trusted companies that have hundreds of positive reviews.

As for buying essays through sites, then you need to be as careful as possible and carefully check every detail. Read company reviews on third-party sources or ask a question on the forum. Check out the guarantees given by the specialists and discuss cooperation with the company manager. Do not transfer money to someone else's account until they send you a document with an essay for review.

Good online platforms provide certificates and some personal data so that the client can have the necessary information about the service manual. Service employees should immediately calculate the cost of the order for you and in the process of work are not entitled to add a percentage to this amount, if you do not make additional edits and preferences.
