  • Hello and welcome

    This page will be your go-to guide where you will find all of the information you need to start a course with us including how to apply, financial support, transport, uniform and lots more!

    Looking to start your course with us now?

    It’s not too late!  Please email applications@southstaffs.ac.uk with your name (the person applying for a course), date of birth , home address, contact number, the course you are interested in starting and at which college location.  From there we will be in touch to arrange a date and time for you to come in and see us.

    • Proof of identity, such as your birth certificate, passport, or current driving license.
    • Evidence of your qualifications – it is essential that you bring along your result slip (statement of results) which details your marks/grades, including your GCSE English spoken language results and RAW mark.

  • Application guide for school leavers

    Here’s how to apply for September 2023

    Step 1: Visit our website and complete an online application form for the course that you are interested in. Each application will receive an email acknowledgement so that you know it has been received.

    Step 2: After you have submitted your application one our friendly Learner Services team will contact you to confirm either an interview or an IAG Session, depending on your chosen course, where they will discuss any support, you may require. During this appointment our teaching staff will talk through your career aspirations and predicted grades. This just helps us to make sure you have applied for the right course to help you to achieve your career goals.

    Please note interviews will take place over the phone and IAG Sessions will be face to face at one of our Saturday Open Days or during an evening weekday slot, but our email correspondence will confirm that for you.

    You will also receive a call from one of the team the day before your interview/IAG Session as well as a text reminder on the day. Please note any calls from us will show as a private number calling.

    Step 3: If the course is suitable for your requirements, you will be given a verbal offer. If you accept this verbal offer you will receive a follow-up confirmation email asking you to confirm the offer by clicking on a link in the email. By doing this it secures your place at the college so please try and respond as soon as possible as places fill up quickly.

    Step 4: The first stage of the enrolment process will be for applicants to complete an online enrolment form, upload a photo and digitally signing the learning agreement. This communication will be sent out to all new applicants week beginning Wednesday 19th July 2023.

    (Please note: the photo will be used for your ID badge so will need to be professional which means the photo should be of you and only you. Please do not include objects, pets etc. and avoid busy backgrounds. Just keep it simple).

    Step 5: The second stage will be an invitation to attend a targeted enrolment slot. These invitations will be sent out week beginning 24th July 2023. This will give you the opportunity to meet some of the teaching staff face-to-face who will confirm your course level. Please don’t forget to bring along your GCSE results and other required information as detailed on the ‘hello and welcome’ page.

    (Please note: If you haven’t done as well as you expected please don’t worry, there will be several options available for you to consider. Our teaching staff will discuss these options with you).

    You will also speak to the maths and English team and Learning Support team, if applicable. And finally, our Learner Services team will check all your details and retake your photo if the uploaded one isn’t suitable (as detailed above).

    The enrolment process takes about 20-30 minutes but can be longer if you need to see the Learning Support and/or maths and English team.

    Step 6: We look forward to seeing you on your enrolment invite day where you will officially become a South Staffordshire College learner and start your career journey with us. Congratulations!

    Step 2: After you have submitted your application one our friendly Learner Services team will contact you to confirm either an interview or an IAG Session, depending on your chosen course, where they will discuss any support, you may require. During this appointment our teaching staff will talk through your career aspirations and predicted grades. This just helps us to make sure you have applied for the right course to help you to achieve your career goals.

    Please note interviews will take place over the phone and IAG Sessions will be face to face at one of our Saturday Open Days or during an evening weekday slot, but our email correspondence will confirm that for you.

    You will also receive a call from one of the team the day before your interview/IAG Session as well as a text reminder on the day. Please note any calls from us will show as a private number calling.

    Step 3: If the course is suitable for your requirements, you will be given a verbal offer. If you accept this verbal offer you will receive a follow-up confirmation email asking you to confirm the offer by clicking on a link in the email. By doing this it secures your place at the college so please try and respond as soon as possible as places fill up quickly.

    Step 4: The first stage of the enrolment process will be for applicants to complete an online enrolment form, upload a photo and digitally signing the learning agreement. This communication will be sent out to all new applicants week beginning Wednesday 19th July 2023.

    (Please note: the photo will be used for your ID badge so will need to be professional which means the photo should be of you and only you. Please do not include objects, pets etc. and avoid busy backgrounds. Just keep it simple).

    Step 5: The second stage will be an invitation to attend a targeted enrolment slot. These invitations will be sent out week beginning 24th July 2023. This will give you the opportunity to meet some of the teaching staff face-to-face who will confirm your course level. Please don’t forget to bring along any exam results and other required information as detailed on the ‘hello and welcome’ page.

    You will also speak to the maths and English team and Learning Support team, if applicable. And finally, our Learner Services team will check all your details and retake your photo if the uploaded one isn’t suitable (as detailed above).

    The enrolment process takes about 20-30 minutes but can be longer if you need to see the Learning Support and/or maths and English team.

    Step 6: We look forward to seeing you on your enrolment invite day where you will officially become a South Staffordshire College learner and start your career journey with us. Congratulations!
