Congratulations on taking your next step into Further Education with us. Your journey to becoming (or remaining) an ESC student starts here!
Firstly, please do not panic if you do not have the expected/required grades to progress on to your course. We will work with you, taking into consideration predicted grades, and support you to enrol, wherever possible, on your chosen course. We can discuss all the alternatives and find something for you.
So, whether you're set to enrol with us for the first time, looking to apply to us, or are a current student returning to us this September, please read on for our guide to enrolment...
We have set up a dedicated call centre with a team on hand to answer any questions that you might have. Lines are expected to be busy; we will endeavour to answer your call as quickly as possible. Please only come into college on your specified enrolment time/date. We thank you for your co-operation!
