We’ve all been there.

You sign up for something because you think it’s the right thing to do, yet deep down you’re not quite sure it’s right for you. You plough on, not wanting to lose face, but the further you go the more you realise you should have stuck to your guns. It simply wasn’t for you. Sound familiar?

If you’ve recently made the decision to stay on at sixth form or head straight into paid work after your GCSEs but are starting to have reservations that maybe college would have been a better option, then don’t worry, it’s not too late.

There’s still time to enrol with us here at Northampton College and we have availability on many of our courses with an immediate start this September.

Making a mistake in life isn’t a problem, it’s how you deal with it that will shape you and your future.

Being strong enough to acknowledge the error and take steps to rectify it is a skill in itself and our team of experts are ready and waiting to help you make the right choice and navigate a pathway that suits you at the leading college in the region.

Join us at one of our in-person advice sessions at Booth Lane, Lower Mounts or Daventry Campus to meet our friendly staff, receive great one-to-one advice, and see first-hand what we can offer. There's no need to book - just drop-in!

Every student that enrols on a 16-18 full-time study programme at Northampton College this year will receive a free laptop loan. That means that no matter what your circumstances, nobody will be left behind due to a lack of technology.

Even if you didn't achieve a grade 4 or higher in maths and English, it doesn’t matter. You can still join a college course and continue to take these subjects alongside your chosen study programme.

We are here for you and we want to make a difference and help you fulfil your potential. Please get in touch and we’ll help you work out which course is best for your future plans.
