What happens next?
Once we have received your application
form you will receive a postcard acknowledging
receipt of your application. The next
step is that you should receive a
letter asking you to attend an interview.
The Interview
Your interview should last around
half an hour to an hour and will be
conducted by a tutor who teachers
on that particular course. The interview
is nothing to be worried about - it
gives you the chance to find out more
about the College and your chosen
course, as well as making sure the
course you have chosen is right for
you. You may wish to bring a parent
/guardian/carer with you.
Some courses may
also require you to complete a pre-test
- i.e. Construction Crafts.
If you have applied
for a course within Art & Design
you will be asked to bring your art
portfolio for your interviewer to
view.
If you have applied
for a Performing Arts course may have
to audition in your chosen discipline
as well as have an interview.
Your interview letter
will clearly state what your interview
will require, if you have any queries
please contact College Admissions
on 01942 761605 where a member
of the team will be happy to clarify
anything for you.
What happens
after the interview?
If you are offered a place on a course,
you will receive a confirmation letter.
You may be given
a conditional offer. This means you
will only be accepted on to this particular
course if you attain the correct entry
requirements. If you are given an
unconditional offer, this means you
have a place on this course, no matter
what GCSE results you attain.
If you decide to
accept the place on the course, simply
return the acceptance slip at the
bottom of the letter confirming your
decision (no stamp necessary). It
is important to return this slip as
soon as possible. Failure to do so
may result in your place being offered
to someone else.
Don’t worry
- returning this slip does not mean
you have to study at Wigan & Leigh
College; what it does mean is that
you have a place reserved at the College
should you decide to take it in September
2009.
What if I decide
to apply for another course?
If you wish to apply for another course
after you have sent in your application,
there is no need to complete another
form. Simply ring College Admissions
on 01942 761605 and the team
will be happy to discuss any changes
or additions to your application.
What happens
if I don't get the grades I need?
Don’t worry, at Wigan & Leigh
College we have different levels of
courses to suit everybody’s needs
and abilities. Before we enrol you
on a course we will check your GCSE
results and ensure you are enrolled
on the right level of course for you.
Is there a deadline
for applications?
Applications for AS & A Levels will only be accepted up to the 31st Match 2009.
For any other course (Apprenticeships/Vocational/Diplomas) Wigan & Leigh College does
not set a deadline for receiving applications.
However, if you wish to be entered
into the prize draw to win a Laptop
computer, we need to receive your
application form no later than 31
March 2009.
For full terms
and conditions of the competition
please contact the Marketing Department
on 01942 761529.
Enrolment
We will next contact you during
the summer, when you will receive
a letter giving you details of when
and where you need to enrol. Full-time
enrolment begins on GCSE Results Day.
You can enrol earlier if your place
does not depend on exam results. If
you have already applied and been
accepted on a full-time course, you
will receive a letter in the summer,
giving you details of when and where
to enrol.
Please remember
to bring along your GCSE Results to
the enrolment session as proof will
be required of your examination results.
At enrolment you
will then be given information about
the date you will actually start College.
Will I need to
pay?
Tuition and Awarding Body fees are
FREE for all students, aged 16-18,
undertaking a full-time or part-time
Further Education course.
