Applying to Post-16 at Okehampton College
There are many things to consider when choosing your options at Post 16. Take into account the following points when deciding:
What to do now?
- If you have a long-term career in mind check if it requires certain subjects to be studied.
- We recommend that you take courses that you think you will enjoy.
- Look carefully at the entry requirements as set out in the prospectus – these are set to ensure that you will cope with the demands of the course.
- If you are unsure then don’t worry as you will be given the opportunity to discuss your choices with a member of the Post-16 Staff.
What to do now?
You will be asked to make an Initial Application so that the College can produce an options’ grid that avoids major clashes, and enables us to judge how many groups will be needed for each subject. Your Final Application is then made when the options’ grid is published at the beginning of February.
The College cannot guarantee to run all the courses described in this booklet. If a particular course attracts very few students, a decision may have to be taken to run the subject as an AS level only (i.e. 1 year course) or not at all.
