Vocational and Practical Programmes
Godalming College offers a range of vocational and practical courses, which provide a skills-based approach to learning and prepare students for working life. The modules are mainly assessed through coursework and practical assignments linked to real life experiences along with some external examinations. These qualifications are highly valued by employers and have grades of pass, merit, distinction or distinction* which have an equivalence to A levels for those seeking entry into higher education.
Students can follow a whole programme of vocational and practical programmes or they can be successfully combined with A levels in other subjects.
