14-16 Links Programme

If you are interested in studying a vocational course at the College through the Links Programme, you will need to speak to your school Links Coordinator (Options Advisor or Head of Year) at your school. Your tutor should be able to advise you on who this is.

We will then liaise with your school and if there is a course that could be suitable for you, we will invite you in for a taster day. You will have a chance to look around the College and try out a couple of subjects. If you find a suitable course, and your school and teachers are happy for you to attend then you will be invited for an interview.

Places on the Links Programme are limited.

For further information on the Links Programme, please contact Adam England on 023 8091 1230, email aengland@eastleigh.ac.uk or contact the College via the contact form.
