Four new vocational diplomas for teenagers will start to run in the city from September. The courses for 14 to 19-year-olds are seen by the Government as a possible replacement for A-Levels.
Teenagers were given a glimpse of what the new creative and media diploma will be like during a taster session at Garage Studios, in Vine Street, Brighton. They met a photographer and took part in a photoshoot. That course, also involving other forms of media, will start running at Varndean College, Brighton, in September. Other new diplomas in construction and built environment, environment and landbased studies and hospitality will start this year. Students will spend part of their time taking regular classes, sessions working with specialists at colleges and practical workplace training.
