Update from Yeovil College

Yeovil College Apprenticeship Poster for Parents/Carers and Year 11 students

We understand that not all Year 11 students know that they must apply for a full-time course as well as an apprenticeship – so here is some information to help you understand the process.

November Open Event

There is another chance to explore our campus and speak to staff and current students at our November Open Event! This is on Thursday 20th November, 5-7:30pm.

While students don’t have to register to attend, it is quicker to enter the event if you have pre-registered. Here is the link to do so.

Sport and UPS Applicant Evening – Thursday 11th December 5-7:30pm

We are excited to share an opportunity for learners who have applied to do Sport Coaching, Sport & Exercise Science, Outdoor Education and Uniformed Protective Services to view our brand-new Yeovil Institute of Sport Centre on Thursday 11th December, 5-7:30pm!

The new Sports Centre will be available to explore at our November Open Event, however this evening is another opportunity to explore without the crowds and is dedicated to applicants, so students are surrounded by like-minded Year 11s. There will also be talks and the chance to speak with their future tutors.

Students must register to attend this event, here is the link.
