Full-time further education course applications by school leavers

Your school may require you to complete a 16+ application, this will normally happen in the Spring term of year 11. We work with partner schools to process these applications when all complete in a timely manner, but if you change your mind once the application has been submitted, you can amend this throughout the year, just contact us. You can also apply for additional courses throughout the year up until mid September when most courses have started.
