Our courses run from Level 1 right through to Level 3, so no matter what stage you’re currently at with your education or training, you can expect to gain skills and the confidence to progress with us. What you will study will depend on what level you are at, but you can expect to learn how to start work in business, retail and administration, explore business purposes, communications, marketing, accounting, business ethics and event/project management.

Our Business department is one of the most dynamic and exciting areas at the College, using trips, work placements, practical experience and industry talks as the basis of our training programmes. Last year, students in Level 3 travelled to EuroDisney for a conference and workshop. They had the opportunity to talk to Disney Senior Executives, getting valuable advice and seeing how the top rides in Europe were marketed.
