How To Apply
Book an Assessment
After arranging a visit to the college, you will need to complete the College Application form and inform your Local Authority of your application. We can help you with this.
What happens next?
Applicants are then invited for a four-day residential assessment, which gives a taste of academic and social life at the college.
If we think we can meet the needs of a prospective student, we will make a provisional offer and send a full report to your Local Authority and/or Connexions team to support your funding application.
NCW runs assessments throughout the academic year and students can be accepted at any time. To ensure that there is sufficient time for funding to be processed following an assessment, we recommend that you begin the process as early as possible. We advise that potential students come on assessment at least a year before their intended entry date.
