Learner FAQsFeedback
Do I need an interview?
For some courses the tutor will conduct interviews in order to assess whether you have chosen the right course for you and you are able to cope with the content of the course. After you have submitted an application form you will receive details by post telling you when and where the interviews will take place. If the guide says “enrol by post or telephone” you can telephone the college on 0116 224 2240 and enrol immediately using a credit or debit card or alternatively complete an enrolment form and post it to the college enclosing a cheque or card details.
