Higher education at CNWL The College of North West London has successfully delivered Higher Education qualifications for many years, working with respected universities and thousands of students over this time.

Why take a Higher Education course with us? Get a Higher Education qualification in one year Our HNCs and HNDs provision allows you to work towards a degree while gaining a qualification on the way. Each year of study ends in a recognised qualification. Usually, you complete an HNC in the first year, HND in the second year and then you can progress onto the second or final year of a degree with a university. Affordable Higher Education (HE) courses at CNWL are competitively priced and if you are from the UK or EU you will be able to obtain a loan for course fees and living costs through Student Finance England (see www.gov. uk/student-finance).

Flexible modes of study CNWL offers you flexible access to HE, studying at a level that reflects your previous qualifications and experience. As our HE courses are mostly taught in one - three sessions per week, you can fit your studies around your work and life commitments. Depending on the level you start at, you can study with us for one-three years and at the end of each year progress to further study or enjoy improved career prospects with your new qualification Progression Our HE courses are designed to make Higher Learning accessible to students who have taken a vocational route through learning as well as those with a traditional A Level background. Many of our students have progressed through the levels in the College to end up on their HE course. 04 www.cnwl.ac.uk

The redevelopment of one of our buildings at Willesden will see the creation of additional HE facilities. High quality teaching and learning We pride ourselves on a high standard of teaching and learning and courses are planned to prepare you for a successful career. All our HE courses are taught in areas of strength for the College, in purpose-designed facilities using industrystandard equipment.

Higher Apprenticeships CNWL is one of very few College in the UK offering Higher Apprenticeships alongside HE Diplomas and Certificates. It is also one of the largest providers of apprenticeship training in London, with around 1000 apprentices from employers of all sizes completing their workbased learning with us. We are now offering Higher Apprenticeships, which are a work-based alternative to traditional Higher Education. Work-based qualifications can also have real value to employers and individuals as an enhancement to academic qualifications. We are unique in London in our range of Higher Apprenticeship provision, providing training in a wide variety of subject areas. Employers if you have staff who would benefit from becoming a Higher Apprentice, or would like information on the availability of grants to offset fees, please contact us on 020 8208 5281. Potential Apprentices if you are qualified at Level 3 or above and employed in the sector you wish to be an apprentice in, please talk to your employer about whether they would support you on a Higher Apprenticeship. If you are not employed in the sector at the moment you cannot do an apprenticeship, so why not consider one of our college-based courses? Students who are successful on our courses frequently gain employment leading to apprenticeships in their sector. Under the Higher Level Apprenticeships HLA, you will gain two qualifications; a Level 4/5 NVQ plus a Higher National Certificate (HNC) or Higher National Diploma (HND) at the same time. NVQ work-based learning assessments are carried out in your workplace in parallel with your college-based learning. Both NVQs and Higher Nationals are nationally-recognised qualifications, individually providing a certified level of work-based learning and academic achievement. Higher Education Guide 2016/17 19
