Choosing your course can be a daunting prospect, so try asking yourself the following questions:

Why do I want to study?

You may want to gain skills that will lead you to a specific job, or you might want to keep your options open by gaining a more general qualification. Whatever you decide, MidKent College will have a course or qualification to suit you.

Do I have the right experience or qualifications to get a place?

Many of the subjects available at MidKent College are offered at various levels. For example, as a full-time student you could do a Diploma in Business (level 2) before moving on to to an Extended Diploma in the same subject (level 3). A number of other qualifications are also available part-time.

School or College?

Our teaching environment is more relaxed and grown-up than school. You’re expected to take more responsibility for your learning and in return we treat you like an adult. It doesn’t mean we don’t look after you though; as a MidKent College student you will receive the guidance and support of a Progress & Performance Tutor who will help you to achieve your best.

We offer a broader choice of courses than most schools. Many of these qualification lead to further study or jobs, such as Hairdressing coursesBricklaying courses and IT courses.
