APPLYING FOR A FULL-TIME COURSE


EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS

You can also explore your career options with Start.


APPLY ONLINE

Read the course details to make sure the course is right for you and click to Apply Online. You will need to have an email address to use the applicant portal. 

We can accept one full-time (16-18) application. If you apply for an apprenticeship, you can also apply for a full-time course as a back-up plan.

Once you have completed your application a ‘Thank you’ message will appear on screen, and an e-mail will be sent from our Admissions Team.


NEXT STEP

We’ll check your application to make sure the course is right for you, and we may arrange an interview. 

We may also ask for a reference from your school. You can download the reference form here and email or post it to us.

THE OFFER

We’ll consider your application carefully and hope to be able to offer you a place. Your offer will be conditional on your GCSE grades. We might offer you an alternative and/or contact you to discuss your options.


ACCEPTING THE OFFER

You will need to accept your offer through your applicant portal. You can only accept one offer, so if you've applied for more than one course you will need to decline these offers. 

Many of our courses are in high demand, so if we do not hear from you within three weeks we cannot guarantee to hold your place open for you.


WELCOME & INDUCTION EVENT

We will invite you to a Welcome and Induction Event, usually in late June. We will be in touch with you to confirm the date. 

The event will give you an opportunity to get a head start with your new course and to meet our other students. 


ENROL

We will contact you to invite you to enrol some time between late June and August. Enrolling will confirm your place at Nescot. If your grades from GCSE or other exams aren’t what you hope for, we will offer you a place at an alternative level or help you find a different course.


JOIN NESCOT

Term starts in early September. From your first day at the college we will support you to succeed and fulfil your ambitions in education.


When Should I Apply?

Nescot is a successful college and our courses are in demand, so we advise you to apply early. 

We will send you a conditional offer which means that you must achieve the entry requirements for your chosen course, as shown on the website.

Already Applied?

For applicants who have already submitted their application you can access the applicant portal here.
