What Our Students Say

“Before I came to Leeds City College, I was in school, I was in such a bad way at school, skiving lessons all the time, teachers always on my case, getting kicked out numerous times almost. So I applied for here just hoping to get on a course, I got accepted – it was entry Level 3. Dave was my tutor and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better as a tutor, because he just helped me. He helped me with every regard, with Maths and English, workshop work, the theory side of the workshop work – telling me how everything is and showing me what’s what.”

Harrison

I think I’ve really enjoyed the fact that I’ve had to make new friendships, especially because I didn’t know anyone coming in – but after the first few weeks I think I’ve adapted to it really well.

Dan

“The tutors here, they are really interactive and they’re always there, even outside of lessons whenever you need something, we don’t go around calling everyone Sir or Miss, second names – we use first names for everything and there’s a more relaxed and friendly communication between the tutors and the students.”

Harry

Overview

Strongly focuses on developing personal and wellbeing skills. Students can complete a BTEC award vocational course with us in a variety of subjects if on the full time course: this is equivalent to Entry Level 3.

Students can choose a vocational course or an on-site work placement.

Vocational subjects include: Art, Sport and Public Services, Business and IT, Health and Social Care, Construction and Motor Vehicle, Hospitality and Catering and Science. We can also offer alternative subjects based on demand.

Onsite work experience placements includes Catering, Admin and Reception work.

Start dates from September to January. (We do also accept students post-January on a case by case basis.)

Enrichment activities available which enhance employability and soft skills.

PSHCE and Digital Skills (ICT) lessons are timetabled weekly. Students work towards their maths and English qualification (GCSE/ Functional Skills/ RARPA maths and English). If a student has achieved one of Maths or English, then they can re-sit the one they have not passed with us and we can amend their timetable so they are still in full time.

Most students who come onto this course do progress onto a mainstream college course or secure employment after completion.
