Wokingham roadworks force us to change your bus stop from Monday 26th January through to the end of March.
Stops 6 & 7 will have to be moved to Handpost Corner bus stop on Finchampstead Road, by Kiln Ride.
We also support employability skills helping students to prepare CVs, complete job, college and university applications, UCAS guidance and advice in writing personal statements. Our friendly Careers Manager, Linda also helps students to improve their interview techniques.
Linda is part of the wider Beyond BCA team, who have created this handy careers hub for use by all of our students, no matter their course or level of study.
At BCA, students are supported to plan their next steps from day one. Whether progressing into employment, university, or a further college course, every student has access to expert careers and progression support.
Our friendly Beyond BCA team provides personalised advice and guidance on careers, education, training, and wellbeing, helping students achieve their goals with confidence.
All Further Education (FE) courses are designed to support clear progression routes. Students can move on to the next level of study, a new course, or higher-level qualifications, with access to ongoing advice and guidance tailored to their individual goals.
Our FE provision offers qualifications up to a Level 3 Extended or Advanced Technical Diploma, with Floristry available up to a Level 4 Higher Diploma. Study beyond this level is classed as Higher Education (HE).
BCA has numerous links with local employers relevant to the course areas being studied.
Staff can offer students advice and pointers for employment routes. The College also runs employer engagement activities and events where students can speak to companies and staff about careers available within their sectors.
We also offer workshops to support CV writing and interview preparation, with specific advice and guidance available.
BCA offers a range of Higher Education (HE) courses and also has established excellent links with the University of Reading and the Royal Agricultural University, who provide our students with a wealth of information and support into Higher Education, as well as accrediting our qualifications.
The College runs a Higher Education event each academic year to provide students with information and support in making their decisions and application to University.
Students who intend to apply to University need to consider their progression plans in Year 1 and should ideally begin work on the application in the final term of Year 1 to enable them to have a competitive advantage over other applicants.
This is our approach to guiding students through the career exploration and development journey.
