Post-16 November Open Event 2026

Find your next step…

Leicester College offers a wide range of vocational, BTEC and T level courses… all of which aim to help you achieve your future goals.

Join us on Wednesday 18 November 2026 between 5pm – 7.30pm (last entry 7pm) at our three campuses to find out more about our offer.

Our Post-16 Open Event is for those under 19 looking to enrol on a full-time course, learn more about apprenticeships and gather information on our student support services.

Tutors and current students will also be here on the day to show you our facilities, answer your questions and provide advice and guidance to set you on the right path for your next steps.

The support teams will be at most campuses to discuss careers advice, funding and bursaries and transition support from school to college.

Join Our Talks*

This year we will be hosting three new talks at our Open Events.

Applications to Enrolment - Location: All campuses, Time: 5.15pm

This talk will have everything you need to know for any school leaver applying to Leicester College. From application advice and finance support to our student enrichment opportunities, our student services team will be answering your questions.

Apprenticeships - Location: Only at Abbey Park Campus and Freemen’s Park Campus, Time: 6pm

An apprenticeship is more than a qualification; it combines valuable work experience with training and study that equips individuals with the knowledge, skills and behaviours essential for the workforce of tomorrow. This talk is your chance to find out all you need to know about how apprenticeships work at our college and what your next steps will be to secure your place.

EHCP and SEND Information- Location: All campuses, Time: 6.45pm

If your child is coming to Leicester College and has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), SEND needs, is care experienced, or a young carer, this talk will be a chance to find out what support services we have available to offer and to get your questions answered by a member of our student support team.
