- Which industries have the tutors worked in before?
- When should I apply and when will the interviews take place?
Questions about your progression
- What are the likely progression routes following my course?
- Where have previous students been employed after College?
- Will completing my course allow me to move on to university?
- What skills will I learn that will be useful for moving on to employment or university?
