Applicants should have a genuine interest and passion for the subject and be able to demonstrate this articulately along with motivation, confidence and creativity. Students do not need to have a theory qualification to enter the programme. In line with The Sheffield College’s commitment to widening participation, we encourage applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds. If students are mature learners, they may present a more varied profile of achievement that is likely to include extensive work experience and/or a range of professional qualifications in their work sector. References, alternative experience and skills will all be taken into account.  Use of prior credit will be considered on an individual basis. In terms of APCL (Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning) you will be expected to provide detailed transcripts of previous qualification. These will be mapped against the Course Modules to check for compatibility and currency. To gain APEL (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning) prospective students will be required to present a portfolio of evidence for assessment. Any final decisions on your acceptance will be made in line with The Sheffield College’s policy guidelines and regulations on the following: APCL (Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning) and/or APEL (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning).
