Schools Liaison

West London College is dedicated to ensuring that students have access to the information, advice and guidance they need to make informed decisions on their progression after Year 11. We offer a range of activities, suitable for Year 8 through to Year 13, to help develop knowledge and inspire students to think about their future career pathways.

Our activities are compliant with the Provider Access legislation that came into force in January 2023, and provide opportunities for students to get:

  • information about West London College and the qualifications or apprenticeships that we offer
  • information about the careers that our qualifications or apprenticeships can lead​ to, including many examples from the hundreds of local and national employers we work with
  • descriptions about life at West London College, helping students learn what learning with us looks like
  • responses to questions about us, our qualifications and apprenticeships

Working with us also helps your school meet the Gatsby Benchmarks, giving impartial careers information, advice and guidance to help students develop aspirations and learn how to achieve them.
