What Will I Study:
We are committed to ensuring every student reaches their full potential by providing an outstanding student experience.
Providing quality education since 1896, St Helens College is one of the largest further and higher education providers in the Northwest.
We support students of all ages, studying at all levels, and provide courses and training to around 10,000 students across four campuses within two local authority boroughs, as a result of a merger with Knowsley Community College in 2017.
Our strong progression routes enable students to join us at the age of 16 to study a technical and professional qualification or an apprenticeship, before then continuing their educational journey to degree level study and beyond at our University Centre St Helens.
There is also a breadth of provision for adults at St Helens College, whether it is to study a course that will enable a promotion at work, to begin an entirely new career, or simply for personal development.
In recent years, over £65 million has been invested in facilities to support our broad and inclusive curriculum, whilst providing a first-class learning experience for our students.
Experienced industry tutors and talented students run our commercial facilities, which include a commercial hair and beauty salon, a fine dining restaurant, an automotive hub and a commercial florist.
We are actively involved in our local communities, offering high-quality training and education opportunities to both residents and businesses.
This collaboration not only enables us to provide excellent work experience, employment and apprenticeship opportunities for our students but also supports employers across the Liverpool City Region to build a skilled workforce for the future.
We are proud to celebrate students’ achievements on results days and graduation ceremonies, including our recent 100% BTEC Extended Diploma pass rate and University Centre St Helens' 88% student satisfaction rate - second highest in the Liverpool City Region. Furthermore, we are proud of the dedication and enthusiasm of our staff, who enable them to reach this pivotal moment.
Each level contains a wide range of units to allow you and your employer to tailor your qualification to your requirements. At all levels you will be able to apply knowledge, understanding and skills to meet national standards. A sample of units include:
This course will provide the industry-required qualification and the knowledge, behaviours and skills for safe working with children and young people in a residential childcare setting.
Child-protection and safety is paramount in any social environment that allows adults to work with young people. Many organisations need to incorporate various child-protection and safeguarding regulations to comply with the national legislations in respect of child-care in the United Kingdom.
This qualification is recognised throughout the UK by both employers and universities as a high level qualification.
Apprenticeships give you the opportunity to learn and train in your chosen career as well as earning a regular pay packet. You will be given first-hand experience and learn the majority of the skills needed on the job, whilst also completing off-the-job training.
