The return of Telford College’s popular ‘Twilight Tasters’ programme has been a huge success.

Hundreds of secondary school students took the opportunity to gain a bite-sized preview of further education opportunities available on their doorstep.

The one-hour sessions, which give a flavour of the course content across a wide range of curriculum areas, were held at the college’s Haybridge campus in Wellington, and the new Station Quarter campus in Telford town centre.

“We offered taster sessions in more than 25 different subject areas,” said Andy Turner, Telford College’s director of vocational studies.

“These included a selection of A levels including our newly launched politics and theatre studies courses, and new vocational courses such as policing, games design, and T-Levels in media and fashion.

“There were also tasters in areas such as creative media, construction, business, digital, catering, automotive, hairdressing and beauty therapy, engineering, electrical, health and social care, early years and education, music, sport, and public uniformed services.”

The sessions were open to all current year 11 students or 16-18 year olds who are considering the next step on their learning journey.

Further Twilight Taster sessions are planned at the college’s two campuses on November 20 and January 29. Click here to book your place

Andy said: “The taster sessions are a great opportunity to try out a subject you are interested in before making your application to study with us, and to see what it is like to study and be part of our vibrant community at Telford College.

“You will get the chance to hear about T-Level course options as well as vocational courses and A levels in your chosen subject areas, helping to inform your decisions on your next steps.

“The tasters are led by our subject specialist teaching staff and will take place in the relevant curriculum area – giving you the chance to see and try out some of our amazing industry standard facilities and equipment.”
