If you are leaving school, or perhaps switching careers, and need to ‘earn while you learn’, then check out our Apprenticeship courses. Apprentices are employed, so you will earn a salary but can carry on learning the skills and training needed to progress in your job.

Our Apprenticeships are based around vocational areas and offer a complementary mix of vocational training and first-hand practical skills. You will be able to mirror what you do in College with what you do in your work and vice versa. Plus, you will also gain a number of qualifications to add to your CV.

Many of our students find that once they have taken this first step and joined one of our Apprenticeship programmes, they are eager to progress to higher education as a good way of gaining promotion and increasing their earning power.

City College Plymouth A Level Academy offers the largest A level sixth form provision in the area. There are lots of exciting subjects to choose from including film studies and psychology, as well as more traditional subjects such as English and maths.

There are lots of different sources of funding to help cover the costs of studying. There are funds and loans available for books and essential equipment for your course, travel, childcare costs or emergency hardship. Our Student Funding team provide information, advice and guidance about the wide range of funds - they can help with:

• sources of financial support for young people and adults
• tuition fee remission
• travel options and funding
• childcare provision and funding
• emergency hardship
• sources of alternative funding - bursaries from trusts and charities
• higher education loans, grants and allowances.
