Admissions Process

Admissions Process

We hope to make our admission process as straightforward for you.  Before you apply for any of our courses, students and their sponsors are strongly advised to read and familiarise themselves with the college admission policies, regulations and terms conditions.

When to Apply

There is no set time to apply as most of our courses start in September, January and April. However, we encourage potential students to apply early to avoid any disappointment as a result of not getting a place.  International applicants should also allow time to obtain a Visa.

After familiarising yourself with the college policies, select the course or program you are interested in and complete the application form thoroughly. Complete an online form or download one, complete it and send it back to us at 37 Tamworth Road, Croydon, CRO 1XT. Please remember to upload all required documents as specified. All application forms must be accompanied by:

  • Upon the receipt of your application and subject to the fulfilment of all other admission requirements, the application will be processed and passed to the respective heads of department for assessment.

Stage 2: Accept or Reject Our Conditional Offer

Should your application meet all the necessary requirements, the college registrar will then write to you offering you a place on the course. The letter will also indicate the fees you need to pay as well as the methods of payment.  An Acceptance form will also be attached which you must complete fully and return to us as soon as possible to confirm that you wish to proceed with your application.
