Entry Requirements

Whatever GCSE grade you achieve this summer, we have the course for you!
Our courses range from Level One, to Level Three, and on to Foundation Degrees. Level 1 courses require some success at GCSE level. Level 2 courses require 2 A-C grades or 4 D grades, and Level 3 courses require 4 A-C grades including English. Foundation Degrees require you to have passed a Level 3 course. Students are required to attend an interview with a College Tutor for all full-time courses, and some part-time courses.

Trial dates

The Football Development Programme also conducts trials throughout the year to assess your footballing skills. The trials provide Tutors with the opportunity to assess students playing ability and to ensure programmes are set up to meet individual players needs.

Please note: the level of study you enrol at is dependent on your exam grades not on your playing ability. Your playing ability will influence which College football team you play for. However, players can switch between teams depending on their improvement levels and commitment.

2010/11 Trial dates
Wednesday 2nd June 2010
All trials will take place at the Houghton Regis Campus at 12 – 2pm

Please note: applicants will be placed on the course following a reference check, interview and practical trial
