Full-Time Applications Are Now Open

Applications are now open for South Eastern Regional College’s (SERC’s) Full-Time Further Education, Apprenticeship and Traineeship courses that start this September.

SERC has everything in place to unlock the door to a brilliant future:  

• Opportunities to study in a range of curriculum areas covering both vocational and professional skills  
• Support from SERC’s qualified tutors who have substantial industry experience, have won several UK teaching awards and who maintain productive links with employers   
• State-of-the-art facilities that support practical learning in workshops, kitchens, salons, IT suites, studios, gyms, laboratories and performance spaces   
• Project-based learning where you apply theory to practical tasks and address real-world challenges  
• Opportunities to demonstrate your skills in prestigious competitions  
• Placements in industry and business, including the opportunity to travel abroad for work experience to develop new professional skills  
• An excellent student support system, including the college’s award-winning careers advisory service, learning support, pastoral care, student finance advisors and the active Students’ Union  

Harvey Neale, who is studying for a Level 3 Technical Diploma in Art and Design at SERC, says “I’d recommend SERC; everyone I know that’s done a course here has had a good experience. I know a lot of people that stayed on at school to do A-Levels and then came to SERC to study after to get extra qualifications, which shows how beneficial SERC is.”  

His enthusiasm is echoed by Natasha Kennedy, pursuing a Level 2 Traineeship in Vehicle Maintenance & Repair: “SERC is not like high school at all. I really enjoy how hands-on the course is. The teachers are very helpful, and the campuses have a very nice atmosphere. I definitely recommend SERC to anyone.”  

Applications to SERC are via our website and you can have up to three live applications at a time.  

Come and view our facilities and talk to our staff at our open evening on Thursday 7 March from 4-7 pm.
