If you’re currently in Year 10 or Year 11 and looking for a vocational course (sometimes called a BTEC or Diploma) to help you get the skills you need for work or university, City and Islington College can help. We have a large variety of vocational courses that can help you achieve your ambitions (including BTEC, UAL and City & Guilds, from Entry Level through to Level 3).

Studying at one of our centres is very different from staying at school – you are treated as an adult and supported to manage your studies, so you’re ready for university or work. At CANDI, you won’t have assemblies or have to wear uniform, and you’ll be studying with people of all ages from across London. 

All of our centres have classrooms and workshops with industry-recommended equipment, as well-stocked libraries, social spaces and cafes, creating a vibrant, sociable place to study.

Why not come to an open day and check out our facilities for yourself, or if you already know what you’d like to study, find out more about how to apply.
