Courses for School Pupils

Applications will close on Friday 31 March 2023

All of our School College Partnership courses can lead to further study at College, University or to employment. Courses start at S3 and build year by year to S6. There are many benefits to undertaking a course while still at school, and doing so has helped a large number of young people on the path to a successful career.

Having discussions with school and college guidance staff will help you to make the right choice for your future.
