    Entry to Employment

    At Tameside College we aim to give all our students an exceptional

    experience. We believe in excellence and we back that up with high

    standards, real working environments and great teaching.

    We also believe that attending college is about more than achieving a

    qualication, important though that is. That is why we aim to give every

    young person the opportunity to develop their full potential in a supportive

    and friendly environment. Ofsted rated our support for students as

    Outstanding in our inspection last year.

    The College offers two main routes for school leavers: full-time courses

    and Apprenticeships.

    Full time courses are offered in a broad range of subject areas and at a variety

    of levels to suit your needs and goals. Apprenticeships are offered across a

    wide range of occupations and provide the opportunity to earn while you learn.

    Whichever of these options is right for you, I know that Tameside College

    will be a great choice.
