Our A Level courses are aimed at anyone who wishes to go on to Higher Education, needs Level 3 qualifications for employment, or simply wants to study a subject in depth. We offer a wide range of AS and A2 Level subjects, and the opportunity to mix vocational and GCSE subjects into your programme.

Extended Project Qualification

At Craven College we now ensure all students complete the extended project qualification. This is an exciting new qualification which attracts full AS UCAS points and is also looked on favourably by universities. Candidates can choose to explore a further aspect of a subject they’re studying, or another subject, or simply choose a topic that they have a personal interest in. The finished project can be a written report, a performance, a piece of art, a community project, a CD or DVD, or even computer software.

You will be expected to:

• choose a topic to study
• complete a production log to document the project process
• plan, research and carry out the project
• prepare a presentation on the outcome

Virtual Learning Environment
As a student at Craven College you will be able to enjoy web-based learning within your own course Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Learning becomes more interesting, visual and interactive activities are available, tutors and fellow students can be contacted more easily, resources are accessible, course work can be emailed, progress tracked and much, much more. Craven College, is fully committed to implementing good practice by integrating e-learning techniques to further support effective teaching and learning to assist you to be successful.

Craven College Study Mentor Scheme
Craven College has a study mentor scheme. Volunteers are placed in local schools to act as ‘role models’, encouraging school pupils to raise their educational aspirations. The scheme is intensive in terms of one-to-one relationships but rewarding to those who are involved. In simple terms a mentor is a college student who talks and spends time with you, with the aim of motivating and encouraging you. A mentor will act as a role model to encourage, motivate and befriend a specially selected pupil, who has possibly no family history of further education, assisting in their personal, social and academic development. You will get the opportunity to create a relationship with a mentor who can nurture and promote the benefits of further education simply by being an available source for questioning.
