Entry to Employment
At Tameside College we aim to give all our students an exceptional
experience. We believe in excellence and we back that up with high
standards, real working environments and great teaching.
We also believe that attending college is about more than achieving a
qualication, important though that is. That is why we aim to give every
young person the opportunity to develop their full potential in a supportive
and friendly environment. Ofsted rated our support for students as
Outstanding in our inspection last year.
The College offers two main routes for school leavers: full-time courses
and Apprenticeships.
Full time courses are offered in a broad range of subject areas and at a variety
of levels to suit your needs and goals. Apprenticeships are offered across a
wide range of occupations and provide the opportunity to earn while you learn.
Whichever of these options is right for you, I know that Tameside College
will be a great choice.
