Do you consider yourself to have a disability, learning difficulty, or health problem?

Yes

Knowing our learners needs before starting their studies can help us prepare the support and resources necessary to provide the best quality education. Delays or absence of important information and documents can be detrimental to learners that require support and can prevent them reaching their full potential. We rely on applicants informing us of any additional needs before they start as previous schools/colleges and local authorities do not pass this information on.

Have you had access arrangements put in place for exams, such as extra time, a reader, or use of computer to help you write your answers?

Yes

Do you have an EHCP?

Yes

Please upload any supporting documentation, including your EHCP

We accept students who are British or Irish nationals, nationals with permanent Leave to Remain and EU nationals with Settled Status. Please note that International Students are not eligible to apply for our mainstream courses. The BCC is not a sponsor under the Student Visa rules. If you are not a British or Irish national but do have the right to study in the UK, please be aware we may ask you for your share code during your application process.

All information given will be treated as sensitive data under data protection legislation.
