Classes at Cardonald College Glasgow for school pupils
Our Education Liaison service offers classes for pupils developed in close partnership with secondary schools in Glasgow and East Renfrewshire.
The College offers part-time vocational education through the 'Skills for Work' courses for S3 & S4 pupils and the 'Open Door' Programme for pupils in S5 & S6. For session 2010/11, we're expanding our successful programme of twilight Advanced Highers, which are offered between 4.30pm and 6.30pm.
The College delivers a Schools Link Programme for pupils with additional support needs from both mainstream and special schools. All these courses are included in the School Prospectus.
Education Liaison
Education Liaison is responsible for the promotion and marketing of the College to secondary schools. We offer the following services to schools:
· Presentations about the College to pupils at your school
· Attend a parents' night
· Have a stand at your School careers convention
As well as talking about our courses and progression routes, we can give information on finance issues such as Bursaries, Education Maintenance Allowance, Student Award Agency Scotland and entry requirements for a course as well as giving an insight to student life.
Please contact us to arrange for a speaker on a specific course or area of study in the college or for a general college talk. Subject specific talks have in the past included Art & Design, Child Care, Retail Management and Music Technology.
Applying
Pupils wishing to enrol onto any of the school courses listed on the website should initially apply through their school. Skills for Work and some other vocational course applications will be referred from schools to the relevant Local Authority Training Unit.
Pupil Placements
A week-long work experience placement is available to pupils who are interested in a specific vocational area in the College e.g. Children's Centre, Library or within an academic area such as Fashion Design. Glasgow City Council schools should check with the Education Gateway database in their own school. Other schools should contact the Education Liaison Manager directly.
Visit Cardonald College Glasgow
The College offers other opportunities for school pupils to come to college such as Open Days, Art & Design Exhibitions or Fashion Show. However if your school wished to visit at another time more suitable to your school calendar please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a college tour or presentation.
We also welcome the opportunity for groups of relevant staff from schools, Careers Scotland or any other appropriate agencies to visit the college, see our excellent facilities, discover the wide range of courses in our portfolio and find out about the financial implications of coming to college.
