The New Diploma
From September 2009, Bolton College will offer students the opportunity to study for a New Diploma. These qualifications combine theoretical and practical learning with functional skills in English, Maths and ICT.
Diplomas will additionally contain learning components in one of 14 employment sectors. Students will be based at college, but will carry out some of their learning in the workplace. This vital work experience element ensures that learning-by-doing is increasingly embraced within the workplace and will allow students to acquire transferable skills in a specific area of employment before moving into work or on to Further or Higher Education.
Students will also have the chance to gain personal learning and thinking skills, and to develop qualities such as team working and communication skills that are relevant for many aspects of life and work.
If you would like to find out more about this new and exciting qualification you can ring the college on 01204 907000 or e-mail at info@boltoncc.ac.uk or visit the national website by clicking here.
