You can also visit our Client Services team during our opening hours, Monday – Friday 09:00 – 17:00. 

As part of your application, the College also requires a reference from your current school. Download, print and ask your school to complete and return the Reference Request Form to Client Services before you come for your interview. 
 

Information, Advice & Guidance Interview

You will then be invited to ESC for an information and advice session where we discuss every aspect of the course you have chosen. This is an important opportunity for you to make sure that this is the right course for you and for us to fully explain the details and requirements of your course.
 

Your Offer

If you have a successful interview you will be offered a conditional place which will be confirmed at enrolment when you provide your exam results. 

Adult students with appropriate qualifications are usually offered unconditional places. 
 

Enrolment

You will be invited to come and enrol at the College in the summer. If you didn't do as well as you hoped in your school exams - don't panic, we will work to offer you a more appropriate course, often leading to your first choice at a later date. Adult students with appropriate qualifications are usually offered unconditional places.
