    I did a sixth form college for my first year. I was in sixth form but instead I did a college diploma instead of A Levels. But it was a really foundation course and I didn’t want to carry on doing something for two or three years which was so basic for me. The second year, I moved to college, where I studied Travel and Tourism Level 1 and I am currently in my second year studying Travel and Tourism Level 2.

    Wait for references do you specifically have to ask your teachers for them or do you just put you head of year and tutor in?

    • @SamuelDada
      @SamuelDada  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For the references you inform the your teacher or head of year that you are putting their details down in you CV as references then they will be able to draft something for you. Then when required your teachers will submit the references if they are asked so you don’t have to worry about it 😊

    • @ravioli3322
      @ravioli3322 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, not at all. You have to apply usually before the college/Sixth form deadline (November December time) and they give you an offer based off of your predicted grades and cv. Then when it comes to results day, if u get the grades required for the college/sixth form you can go. It’s not possible as I know of to apply right when you get your grade in August as places for next September will already have places. Hope this helps.
