How the funding changes could affect you...
John is 19 years old and has previously completed a Level 2 sports course at
the College. He is currently unemployed and is now considering a career in
construction, specifically joinery. He is about to start a Level 2
course which he will not have to pay for as he is unemployed
and on benefits. He will also not have to pay if he finds a job
whilst on the course. He may have to pay for his PPE costs
(Personal Protection Equipment) but there may also be help
with this from the College’s Learner Support Fund.
Sarah is 29 years old and is coming back to College now her children have
all started school. She plans to go on to university and would like to do an
Access to HE: Health and Social Care course. To pay for the course she has
a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan through the Student Loans
Company with a view to paying it back when she is earning
£21,000. However, if she goes on to complete her degree at
university, the loan she used to pay for her Access course will
be cleared by the Student Loans Company and she will not
have to pay this back.
If you are in a similar situation to John and Sarah, call our Finance
and Funding Team for more information on: 01244 656200

Over 100 students from across the region celebrated their achievements

The ceremony welcomed Steve Whitfield, Managing Director of Cheshire
based education and activity travel group, Holidaybreak, to present the
certificates to students who achieved in a range of HE qualifications.
Graeme Scanlan, 26, from Wirral was named as Student of the Year
for his hard work and dedication during his Foundation Degree in
Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He said: “I’m really proud to
have won this award out of so many people. Being at the College
has been such an enjoyable experience and I’m now going to
do a top-up year to get a full degree.
Steve Whitfield,
Managing Director
of Holidaybreak who
presented the HE awards
said: “It was a pleasure
to see so many students
be awarded during the
evening, they should all
be very proud of their
successes and I
wish them all of the
best for the future.”
Janine McLeod, 33, from
North Wales studied a CIPD
Advanced Diploma in HR
alongside her full-time
role as a HR Manager. She

benefitted me as I have
received two promotions
at work since starting
studying three years ago.
The course has improved
my knowledge and given
me a lot of credibility in the
workplace.”

He said: “I did my BTEC through the
College when I started my job at
Magellan and when I completed the
course I gained a full-time job as a
CNC machinist making aeroplane
parts.
“I realised how valuable getting
qualifications was and how
much you get out of it so I did the
foundation degree course to further
my career at Magellan.”
Christina Baxter, 21, from Ellesmere Port completed
an ABC Diploma in Art, Design and Media - Fashion
