Vocational Courses

USP College offers a variety of professional courses

Vocational qualifications come in a range of levels and varieties to ensure that every student can study in a way that suits them.

These qualifications combine a practical approach to learning with work-related studies. You will focus on one area of study and will cover a variety of units within that one area. Vocational qualifications are a great alternative to A-Levels and help many people enter employment, find an apprenticeship and even progress to university.

So, why study a Vocational Course at USP College?

You will:

• Be taught by teachers with specific industry experience
• Gain practical skills within your subject area to help you pursue your career
• Build an on-going portfolio
• Have independence within your study along with flexible support
• Earn UCAS points so you are not restricted when applying for university
• Gain valuable employability skills as the courses have been developed by industry specialists
• Have the chance to study at a level suitable to you, ranging from levels 1-5
• Complete work experience to put your theory into practice.

Our vocational courses are full-time programmes designed to give you everything you need to progress. You won’t need to study another qualification alongside your course - you can focus fully on developing the practical skills, knowledge and experience for your chosen career.
