Entry Requirements
Our courses start at different levels, ensuring every learner is accommodated. The level each learner starts at depends on their prior qualifications.
Entry Level
No formal qualifications are needed to enrol on an entry level course. These courses help students build the skills, experience, and confidence they need to progress to a Level 1 course.
Level 1
Students must have achieved an appropriate Entry Level vocational qualification and/or GCSEs at Grade 2-1 or above.
Level 2
Students must have include an appropriate Level 1 qualification and/or GCSEs at mostly Grade 3 or above.
Level 3
These qualifications include A Levels, vocational courses (including Diplomas, Extended Diplomas, and Certificates), T Levels, and apprenticeships. Students must have achieved an appropriate Level 2 qualification and/or achieved four GCSEs at Grade 4/5 or above.
Please note, there are some courses that require students to start at Level 1 to gain the technical skills required to progress.

Apprenticeship Expo
Apprenticeships
Northern Skills is now known as MC Apprenticeships & Training!
Apprenticeships offer a direct path into a chosen career, allowing young people to earn while they learn and gain real-world experience.
Middlesbrough College delivers over 100 apprenticeship programmes across the North East and Yorkshire. Our expert team supports learners at every level, helping thousands kickstart their careers.
To apply for an apprenticeship, learners would need to apply for a vacancy, not a course. We offer a wide range of roles across industries like Accountancy, Dental Nursing and Engineering. Explore current vacancies here.
Each listing includes job details, wage, hours, duration, required skills, and employer info. The apprenticeship standard is also included.
When the learner finds a vacancy, they should click “Apply for Apprenticeship” and fill in their details. If shortlisted, they’ll be invited to an interview with Northern Skills, the employer, or both.
Further information about apprenticeships can be found here.
