preparing for your college interview

28/5/2019

Another important step in the journey to adulthood is college/ sixth form. As most people know, there are the next step to a career or university, and it is now required that we stay in full time education until we are 18. Saying that, applying for a college/ sixth form can be daunting, especially if you don't know what to study. Once you have applied, you will be invited to an interview, where they will ask you all a about your study choices etc. In order to be prepared, here are a few of the tips I've coke up with after attending my interviews:


  • Bring along with you your latest school report, punctuality and attendance certificates, and any school achievements you are proud of. This will let the interviewer see what kind of person you are in and around school, and allow them to decide as to whether you would fit in well at the college/ sixth form.
  • Make a list of questions to ask. This may seem silly, but when you are in that room, you will most likely forget to ask things! Good questions may be about coursework, uniform/ clothing rules, timetables, equipment etc. Ask these things sooner rather than later!
  • Remember that your interviewer just wants to make sure that you have chosen the right a-levels or BTECs for your future plans- it is more of a discussion than an interview. Wait until uni for the real interviews!
  • Relax! 


99% of the time, everything will be fine and you will have a lovely interviewer. Be confident in yourself and make sure to find out all the information you want!
