Who Can Apply?
Students who are currently completing their final year in secondary education (Year 11) may apply for a place at the EC 6th Form. Similarly, we are able to offer places to any applicant over statutory school age (16+) whether or not they have any formal qualifications, provided they can demonstrate an ability to undertake studies in English and are committed to the course of their choice.
Entry Requirements
The entry requirements are different for each course. You need to check the requirements of each entry level and the details of each individual subject to know exactly what you will need for a particular course.
Application Process.

2. How to get additional information.
The College will advertise its open days on the website and in mosques and local media. Look out for the dates and pop in to discuss your options with someone and to take a look around. Representatives from the College will also visit mosques, schools and other centres to give presentations about the College. These are also good opportunities to find out more about the College and to ask specific questions. If unsure of what you want to do or you feel you would like to speak to someone, you can book an advice session with someone who deals with admissions.

Remember, this does not mean you have committed yourself to a course. There will be opportunities to change courses later.Upon receipt of your form, we will let you know that we have received your application and we will invite you for an interview as soon as we can arrange one.
4. Your Interview
All applicants are required to attend an interview with one of the tutors in order to determine their suitability to the course they want to study.The interview will also be an opportunity for you to raise any queries regarding your course of interest and the College.
Following your interview, if the College is satisfied with your suitability to the College and the course you want to study, you will be offered a place in writing. This will normally be conditional on your exam results if you do not yet have them.
5. Enrolment
If everything goes well and your place is confirmed, the College will send you the dates of enrolment days. This will be some time between July and September.
6. Starting at EC
Once you have enrolled, you will receive the annual schedule of the College detailing the start dates for all courses. All new students will attend an initial induction when they will be introduced to the College's facilities and procedures. This will be followed by a further induction when students will get the opportunity to settle in to their subjects and change courses if they choose to. Most students who are studying Arabic language for the first time will need to attend an additional week before the course starts to undertake a basic class on reading and writing Arabic. Students who have not studied Arabic before will need to attend this class to be able to study the full course when it starts.
