Vocational Opportunities for 14-19 year olds - Headstart 14-19

For 2009-10 we've rebranded and improved our provision for Schools.  Having secured funds to embed skills for life into our programmes we are now striving towards an embedded approach in both Motor Vehicle and Construction.  What's more we now also offer dedicated sessions for Literacy and Numeracy and already this year some of our learners have achieved national certicates at level 1 and 2.

If you are interested in learning a trade or improving you literacy and numeracy skills and think a vocational course as part of your Key Stage 4 options would benefit you then read on.

Nova could be what you are looking for. Our vocational training course are available in the following areas:

Motor Vehicle
Plumbing
Decorating
Bricklaying
Literacy and Numeracy

All of these qualifications are supported by Health & Safety and embedded Literacy & Numeracy.

If you are under the age of 16 you can access one of our courses now. If you are still at School you will need to talk to speak to the Work Related Co-ordinator at your School or you Form Tutor about attending a course with Nova.

Taster Days

If you can't make up your mind about what you want to do then the perfect way to decide is to participate in one of Nova's Taster Days. These are held throughout the academic year and enable learners to experience different vocations. For further information please contact us.
