School Leavers


We offer a wide range of subject areas, at levels to suit everyone. We aim to provide links between employers and our students, with many of our courses delivered in partnership with industry to ensure we respond to sector skills needs.

We know everyone has a hidden talent that can be used in a future career.

You might be an artist, or a musician, someone who likes to fix things, you may have always enjoyed building and designing new structures, or perhaps you’re a gamer who has developed amazing strategising and problem-solving skills from this interest.

Alternatively, you might be a great listener, you may always be the team leader in group activities, you might be confident, or you might be someone who has an enormous amount of empathy for others.

These are all hidden talents that you may not realise will be useful out in industry.

Whatever your hidden talent is, whatever it is you love to do the most, there’s a career waiting for you using that skill.

We can help you turn that hidden talent into a happy and fulfilling career.

English, Maths and Digital Skills

The majority of careers require good English, maths and digital skills. As a result, these essential subjects are embedded into every course at every level.

When it comes to digital skills this can worry some people, some of that worry might be around access to a laptop or computer at home.

Lack of access to relevant technology is known as digital poverty, we have worked really hard to ensure no North Lindsey College student is disadvantaged as a result of lack of access to digital technology or the internet at home.
