How To Apply For a Course

Unsure of our application process? Take a look below at our hints and tips on how to apply for a course at Kidderminster College!

1. Make your choice

Take a look at our courses and decide which one inspires you the most; we always say to go for something you enjoy or are passionate about, so have a look and determine what stands out to you. Have a think about how you’d like your future to look.

2. Fill out our application form

Once you’ve decided what course you’d like to study with us, hit the apply now button! You’ll be asked to make an account and to fill out our easy online application form. Fill this in as much as possible as it helps us stay in touch with you and ensure you get as much support as possible during your time with us.

3. Confirm your place

Once we’ve confirmed your place based on the entry requirements for your course, you’ll get sent an offer email; all you have to do now is click the link and accept your place!
