At Bradford College we recognise that employers want more than just a qualification on a piece of paper. They want experienced, skilled and driven individuals, and that’s exactly what you’ll get from your Study Programme. We design our programmes to ensure you go above and beyond to reach your full potential and leave Bradford College ready for further studies or employment.

When you enrol onto your course, you will also work towards a Level 2 qualification in English and/or maths if you haven’t already achieved a Grade 4 previously.
18 bradfordcollege.ac.uk English and maths matter
English and maths are vital skills - you’ll struggle to pass your course, progress or secure employment in your chosen career without them. Make sure you attend, revise and pass.
English and maths workshops
English and maths are crucial skills that you’ll need if you want to:
•• Progress onto higher levels of Further Education
•• Progress into Higher Education
•• Enhance your employability skills and get the job you’ve always wanted
You’ll need Level 2 English and maths to gain entry to most universities. Employers constantly talk about their workers not having good communication or number skills.
We want you to thrive and progress during your time with us.
If you are studying English or maths qualifications and miss a class, you’ll be required to catch up in the workshop. If you would like additional guidance and support to improve your skills, please feel to drop in where we offer specialised support. We have flexible opening hours and can be found on 3rd floor (English) and 5th floor (maths) of David Hockney Building.
bradfordcollege.ac.uk 19 Look sharp! Industry uniforms and College ID
Some courses require you to wear a uniform to prepare you for work. Many industries wear uniforms to protect clothing, make working more comfortable and safe, easily identify employees and promote their brand. Our vocational courses aim to offer real-world learning and that’s why the following study programmes require you to wear a uniform:
CATERING CONSTRUCTION CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
HAIR, BEAUTY & MEDIA MAKE-UP HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE ENGINEERING & MOTOR VEHICLE
SPORT TRAVEL, AVIATION, UNIFORMED PROTECTIVE SERVICES HOSPITALITY & EVENTS
Our uniforms include sports and outdoor clothing, branded hoodies and t-shirts, chef’s whites and protective footwear. All of our uniforms are Bradford College branded and prices start from around £5 per item up to around £40. You can view uniforms at our Open Events and applicant events and once you have applied for a course you can order your uniform via our website. We open a uniform shop during enrolments in the summer and you can try on items/sizes before placing an order.
When you enrol with us, you will be given a Bradford College Student ID card which you must wear and keep visible at all times on campus.
20 bradfordcollege.ac.uk Attendance and achievement
Statistics prove that good attendance is linked to your future success! The more classes you attend, the more likely you’ll achieve grades 9/A* – 4/C at GCSE.*
Successful completion of your course could increase your income too. The average graduate salary is greater if you attend a university requiring higher A level grades.**
Our courses are intended to prepare you for future employment and we therefore require you to attend regularly and on time as would be expected by an employer.
We want you to achieve the best qualifications possible whilst you are aged between 16-18 and benefit from no course fees. Once you are 19 and want to study Further Education qualifications, you may have to pay towards your course fees or take out an Advanced Learner Loan.
