THE Alloa campus of Forth Valley College recently held an open evening to showcase the courses and apprenticeship opportunities it has for prospective students.

On Wednesday night, representatives from the college's teaching departments and business development team were on hand to offer advice and guidance on the wide range of courses available at the college.

Some of the opportunities on show included full-time courses from access to degree level, modern apprenticeships, new foundation apprenticeships, evening courses, business training courses and flexible learning programmes.

In addition, support teams were available to offer careers advice and answer questions on funding, learning support and applying to college.

Forth Valley College launched their new prospectus recently and are encouraging people to apply online now for full-time courses available from January and August 2020.

Dr Ken Thomson, principal for Forth Valley College, said: "Our open evenings offer a fantastic opportunity for people to come along and find out about the different options available to them – whether they're interested in a mainstream course, finding out about modern apprenticeship vacancies currently on offer, thinking about studying for a foundation apprenticeship while still at school or pursuing a degree.

"These events are also really useful if you're considering applying to college but have questions surrounding student finance or the application process for example – and they're also an excellent opportunity to find out what qualifications employers are looking for."
