A Levels Courses at DCG

hi everyone my name is Matt ridgell I’m the assistant principal at the Joseph Wright Center Derby college and this video is a little bit of an introduction to our taster sessions unlike four other courses such as t-levels or B techs where you’re asked to attend an interview for a levels we only ask you that you attend taster sessions these sessions are an opportunity for you to get an understanding about each of your courses at the Joseph Wright Center we offer a number of courses and it’s quite difficult for students to choose between each individual a level so we ask that you attend taster sessions so you can get a better understanding of how each subject works each taster session is 30 minutes long and we ask that you choose four subjects the meaning behind that is that that will give you a great understanding of which are the best three subjects for you to choose when you finally come to start your a-levels once you’ve completed an application you will receive an email inviting you to attend one of our compulsory taster sessions here you will find a selection of subjects that you can choose to taste we ask that you choose four subjects to stress test the best subjects that you intend to enroll to in September once you’ve chosen your subjects you’ll receive a QR code and close to the date you’ll receive a timetable with the times and room numbers for each of your subject choices once you’ve booked onto the sessions your InTouch account will be labeled as interview please be reassured that you will not receive an interview and the a-level subjects only require a taster event on the day you’ll be greeted by our welcome team who will scan your QR code and give you a map of the college so you can make your way to your first class please give plenty of time to make it to the Joseph Wright Center so you are on time for each of your taster sessions teachers for each taster session will provide all the resources that you need but will be helpful to bring a pen some paper and a pencil for the taster sessions we actually choose four subjects whilst when you study at the college you will only study three a-level subjects we ask that you taste four so you get the best understanding of what the best combination of a level subjects is the taster sessions are the final stage of your application process following the taster sessions we ask that you work hard to achieve the best results you can in your gcses and then on GCC results day please upload your grades so we can finalize your offer if you achieve all the entry requirements for the a-level courses you will be invited to enroll with us at the Joseph rise Center or you can do this online by uploading your ID documents along with your GCC results so to summarize a level taters are a compulsory session designed to help you make the best choice of your a-level subjects we wish you all the best with your GCC results and if you have any further questions please contact our student services team thank you very much
