No qualifications? No problem!
Progressing in life can be tough without any qualifications - but at Barnet and Southgate College we have two courses that may help you take the next step
The Bridging Course
is for students with few (or no) formal qualifications or students who have missed part of their education for whatever reason.
For example, if you left school without completing year 11 or you have had frequent changes of secondary school. It is called The Bridging Course because it builds a “bridge” from where you are now, to where you want to be.
Where will the course take me?
Most students progress to other courses in the College, usually vocational courses. Some students have then gone on to advanced courses and university, or have gained employment.
Course content and structure
Depending on level of ability and previous achievement, students can study English, Maths and some of the following:
Art and Design, IT, Business and Finance, Science, Personal and Social Development.
Work Experience
All Bridging students will participate in a two week work experience placement at a local employer in the Spring term.
