One of the ways we do this is through a very effec­tive ​‘6 weeks to suc­cess pro­gramme’ that oper­ates from the first day you start your course. This includes sup­port such as (but not lim­it­ed to):

· Allow­ing you to change cours­es if you change your mind in the first 6 weeks ‑sub­ject to availability

· Mov­ing you between course lev­els if you are find­ing your cur­rent lev­el too easy / too hard, sub­ject to availability

· One-to-one reviews with your aca­d­e­m­ic tutor to ensure you are pro­gress­ing and achiev­ing well

Our course enquiries and admis­sions team are avail­able at enquiries@​stamford.​ac.​uk should you have any fur­ther questions.

You will com­plete a the­o­ry exam and a prac­ti­cal syn­op­tic assign­ment. As well as a manda­to­ry employ­er place­ment. You will receive reg­u­lar feed­back on your per­for­mance and help and advice to enable you to be suc­cess­ful in the actu­al assessments.

You will require a uni­form con­sisit­ng of black full length work trousers, black polo shirt and black sweat­shirts and safe­ty footwear for the work­shop, which can be pur­chased on our web­site, along with a change of footwear when leav­ing the work­shop. You will also need course spe­cif­ic text books and sta­tionery. You will be sent a full list of mate­ri­als and equip­ment pri­or to enrolment.
