Courses at CIFE colleges

CIFE colleges provide safe opportunities for positive change. With their long experience of helping students settle in quickly, wide subject choice and flexible course structures, they make it easy to move school and provide an excellent environment for a new start.

Flexible course choices

CIFE college courses offer a great deal of choice. Not only do they provide a very wide range of subjects but they also build in an unusual amount of flexibility: if you want to take an unusual combination such as Accounting, Psychology and History you'll find it at a CIFE college. Most colleges allow students to choose virtually any combination of subjects and it is often possible to take a course which includes several course types.

Final year sixth form and one-year A-level courses

f you want to join a CIFE college for the second year of A level, not only will you have a good choice of colleges which can provide the right A2 courses, but most will allow you to combine A2 courses with a new AS level or even a subject in which you cover both the AS and A2 during the year. For example, If you want to combine A2 Maths and Phsics with a one-year Chemistry A level, most CIFE colleges will be able to help.

GCSE courses at CIFE colleges

GCSE courses are equally flexible, usually offering subjects such as Photography as well as the main-stream GCSEs, and allowing students more choice than schools usually can. Most colleges offer GCSE courses covering the whole syllabus in one year, and you can combine 'core' subjects you have already studeied with new ones to add extra interest to the programme.

Retake and revision courses

Finally, CIFE colleges have in-depth experience of shorter courses unavailable at most schools, such as A-level and GCSE retake courses and Easter Revision.
