How will it develop students?

- Diplomas are a valuable and nationally recognised qualification accepted by employers and HE institutions, and offer an attractive learning experience for students.
- The combination of classroom and work-related learning gives students the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge required for employment or further education.
- Diplomas are a qualification that can provide a new stimulating innovative way for students to stay motivated and enjoy their studies.
- Diplomas will provide a broader education for students who want to stay in full-time education, but who are just unsure what career path they want to take.
- Students who have an interest in the industry tend to stay motivated and enthused, producing a better standard of overall learning.
- The Diploma allows students to develop employability skills that relate to a number of industries and will not lock them into a job-specific role for a period of time.
- Students have the opportunity to study their GCSEs or A levels alongside the Diploma. They also have the opportunity to go onto an apprenticeship programme.
