To bridge the gap between work and study, all our courses have work experience varying from 1 day to a week for a specified time to several weeks in one go. The Leisure and Tourism courses take full advantage of the proximity of the Leisure Centre, which is next door to the College. An excellent relationship exists between the two organisations and students use this as their work centre offering real life work placements and experience. The College has also recently opened a Travel Information Point, which is a fully computerised simulated Travel Agency. The Health and Social Care courses offered at Dunstable College cover a range to suit whatever level of entry.
Study covers both the theory and practice and includes several work placements.
There is the opportunity to progress through the different levels. Many of the students who study these subjects carry on to a higher education. Career prospects after further training include Nursing, Social Work, Physiotherapy and Radiography. Other students go straight into employment as Care Assistants, Home Helps and Health Care Assistants. Highly qualified staff and superior equipment in our laboratories offer potential science students the opportunity to excel.
