Essential Skills – English and Maths

If you achieve a grade 3 in GCSE Maths or English you will have to work towards re-sitting these subjects as part of your main study programme. At B&FC, this won’t delay your career journey because you’re working towards these subjects at the same time as your chosen subject.

Career Options and Progression

Students can progress to the BS4872 Testing Course or other specific welding courses provided by the College.

Alternatively, students will be equipped to apply for entry level work in the manufacturing, automotive and fabrication sectors where highly skilled welders are always in demand.

Industry Placement and Field Trips

Other Costs and Equipment Needed
