The New Diplomas ...

The new Diplomas are employer-designed qualifications combining theoretical and practical learning. They will equip you not only with the broad skills and knowledge of the subject areas but also the ability to apply these skills in practical ways. They can be a key stepping stone in preparing for a university course, further education or employment. Employers will also value the ‘functional skills’ in English, Maths and IT which are part of the Diploma qualification and earn extra GCSE credits for each one gained.
