4worldlovers:
Get a head start towards the career you want with these brand new qualifications.


Our courses are not just for school leavers - if you’re looking to learn new skills, progress at work, or even turn your favourite hobby into a new career, we have a wide range of courses for adults that can be studied online and on campus.

Apprenticeships are the perfect opportunity to learn practical skills, gain industry experience and work towards a nationally recognised qualification – all while earning a wage.

These qualifications are equivalent to the first year, or two years of a degree, so that you can realise your ambitions without the need to leave the area and run up some of the debt incurred with studying away at university.

Making the decision to come to college is the first step on an exciting journey.

We're making a difference by investing in the next generation of leaders, pioneers, innovators and visionaries.

We do everything with you in mind, so we can support you in achieving the best grades and reaching your potential.

Our innovative programmes, including full or part-time study and apprenticeships, will engage, inspire and challenge you.

I moved to the UK from Swaziland in Africa in 2017 and started on a foundation course at Northampton College, which allowed me to move on and study sport. I was nervous starting college, but I was given so much support and as my confidence grew, I became an award-winning student ambassador! My time at college has been great and will definitely help me to become a sports physiotherapist. I hope to continue my learning journey with an apprenticeship or a degree at university.


I applied to study Civil Engineering but didn’t meet the entry requirements. The College really helped me on GCSE results day and offered me a place to study Construction Multi-skills, which I accepted so I could work hard and eventually progress onto the Civil Engineering course. Even though I was nervous at first, I enjoyed learning every trade, and the opportunity to meet new people made me more confident and independent. I’m really looking forward to the rest of my college journey!


"I enrolled at Northampton College in September 2017 to study Art and Design Level 2, before progressing to a two-year Art and Design Level 3 course. I also attended BTEC and GCSE maths and English to improve my skills and earn a grade 4. I'm now pursuing an Illustration course at the University of Northampton."

Since joining the Cadets aged 14, I dreamed of a career in public services. I learned so much at Northampton College, but I particularly enjoyed the physical elements of my course, such as running and the assault courses. I achieved enough UCAS points to study Policing at The University of Northampton, so thanks to the College, I’m now a Police Constable with Northamptonshire Police. Anyone who wants a career in public services should go for it. My journey won’t stop here.


After studying GCSE Drama, I struggled to find an A Level course that interested me, so I studied Level 3 Acting at the College, which I really enjoyed, before progressing onto HNC Acting. During my time on the course, the College invited one of the UK’s leading Applied Theatre companies, Alter Ego Creative Solutions, to talk to the group. After completing my course, I successfully auditioned for the company, and worked with them on several projects. I’m now working for the Masque Theatre company and will soon be auditioning for for Guildhall.

Getting into hairdressing is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My teachers have been amazing – they helped me achieve my maths GCSE and supported me with my dyslexia. I’ve learnt so much from college and from the team at Paul Watts in Kettering, who allow me to be creative and push me to see what I can do. I’m excited to learn more about bridal hair, barbering and hair extensions, and I’d really love to own a salon one day!
