Vocational Courses
If you’re looking for a learning style that truly works for you, then a vocational course at Derby College could be just the job.
With a focus on practical skills rather than traditional academic studies, a vocational course opens the door to learning for those students with a reasonably clear idea of what career they would like. It could put you on a direct route to the future you’ve always wanted.
Relating to a specific area of employment or industry sector, vocational courses often feature hands-on work experience. You’ll be able to apply your knowledge, solve problems, build your teamworking skills and undertake ‘real life’ projects which are directly relevant to the world of work.
Vocational qualifications are not only respected and recognised by employers but are also regarded as equivalent to academic courses by universities and other educational institutions.
And there’s an added bonus if you are not keen on the pressure of end-of-year exams. Assessment of vocational courses tends to be based on the practical tasks and assignments you complete throughout the year.
So, if you’re well-organised, focused and enthusiastic about the subject you would like to study, take a closer look at the vocational courses available at Derby College. There’s an enormous range to choose from.
