Parent and carer guide to planning for college or training

It's always a good idea to visit a college or training provider you are considering. Most will have open days or open evenings you can attend.

You can find out about them on the college or training provider's website, or call their main reception to find out.

Sometimes you may not be able to attend an open day or open evening. In most cases, you will still be able to arrange your own visit by calling the main reception.

Some colleges or training providers have virtual tours that will let you visit from your own computer at home.
