Just be yourself Bubbles. Good luck. What isit you want to do?

They will probably do a presentation on what your course is about, then they'll give you a one to one interview where you'll have to present your national record of achievement with your exam certificates etc in. Well that's what I had to do anyways and that was only 3 or 4 years ago.

Suppose it depends what you're doing really. Obviously if you're doing something where you don't need a massive amount of intelligence then it might be different.



Yeah wear a suit with a tie, definately!

Dress smart, but not so you feel uncomfortable. They're going to ask what your interest is in the course and maybe why you've chosen that college over others. Also they might ask about your previous experience in the subject you want to study.

plumbing but they sed a mite hav to do maths n english aswel

Yeah I have, you don't have to wear suit and tie etc you can wear normal clothes if you want to. They just go through what the course is about, the Colleges procedures, getting you to enrol and basically giving you information about what the College can do for you and what the student services is about. Nothing to worry about at all. Oh and you have to bring your certificates and qualifications with you.

So are you good with pipes?

Hello Bubbles

English

Good luck tomorrow Bubbles. I`d agree with what PeterCat said - look as if you`ve made an effort. They will ask you why you want to do the course, so think of some good reasons why.

no pisstake replys please

Bubbles just be yourself. I have done college interviews in the past you can wear your own clothes and your course tutor just asks you questions about why you want to do your course. And your tutor tells you more about the course your doing. It will be ok. Good luck Bubbles

Good luck Bubbles

Im sure you will be fine

I hope all goes well for you,good luck

Good luck Bubbles How long would it take you to qualify as a plumber? The thing is we have problem with our outdoor pipes and I wanted to save the job for you.

I'm taking that as a serious question, so here's a serious answer:

I recently signed-up for a college course, and the enrolment form included the question "Do you have a 'relevant' criminal conviction?"

The covering notes read:
"'Relevant' means offences against a person, whether violent or sexual, and offences involving drugs or controlled substances, or theft. A 'yes' answer does not automatically exclude your enrolment."

I had one 2 weeks ago for my next course up, just show that your not there to piss about and show enthusiasm in what your doing

I got to have another interview before September for the next level of my course, although they sort it all out and don't have to worry plus we are moving to a brand new campus .

Bubbles, if you're being serious, I'd suggest dressing smart casual - nothing over the top - it's not a job interview. Just be natural (but respectful) and let your passion shine through. Demonstrate passion and ability and the place is yours!

As regards the criminal conviction - I take it you would have had to have disclosed this on your application form so the fact that you have an interview would say, in my view, that that isn't a problem. I can't say for certain, but I can't imagine that they would want to discuss this at interview. They just want to assess your passion and potential.

Good luck! You'll be fine.

Yes, the enrolment form would be the one your mum filled-in. They may well ask you about the form at the interview, so it's best to be prepared. I doubt it would be a show-stopper, or they wouldn't have asked you in for interview in the first place.

thanks for the tips am off to bed now need to be awake for it

Wear a trilby.

Dont mention the kebab man

Clean and tidy for a plumber's course, not a suit and tie! Or a shell suit.

Good luck Bubbles

You will have to do an aptitude test. so knowledge of maths and english will be an advantage. If you can measure a room, work out height width depth volume and answer commonsense questions, you should be okay.

Due to retention issues and its financial ramifications (across the whole FE and HE sector)they'll be interested in your level of commitment to the course. Make sure they know its your 'life's dream' and that you have realistic expectations of what the course will involve and lead to.

Good luck, Bubbles.

Good luck Bubbles, I hope it goes well for you.

Bubbles is back

wear a pair of badly fitting jeans with your bum crack showing.
