Applications Open November to September

SCFE welcomes applications from all, and is committed to providing an inclusive learning environment where all learners have the opportunity to develop, and reach their potential.

All applicants are invited to attend for interview, where an opportunity is provided to assess their suitability for a course place. Applicants may be accepted without meeting minimum entry requirements, if the College is satisfied that they have the necessary ability to take the course. Further details are available at interview.
