ENRICHMENT AND TRAINING

We believe that our students should leave us with the additional skills and qualifications that universities and employers want, as well as a set of great grades. We achieve this through our enrichment and training programme, which is a part of every students timetable.

Training

Training at UTC Portsmouth presents an unrivalled opportunity for all of our students. It makes up a compulsory element of all students’ timetables across the college. The offer is unique in that no other college, school or institution is able to timetable such an opportunity, ensuring that you leave with a real advantage. The principle behind training is to enhance and build upon your skill set and standard qualifications.

Examples of Year 10 & 11 Training: UTC Junior Sports Leaders, Psychology, BAE Systems Challenge, Electronics and Robotics and Lego League.

Our Sixth Form students are able to choose their own pathway through Training to suit their particular interests and future career aspirations.

They can choose between; Gold CREST Award, Open University courses, Google Garage & Future Learn and Project Pipeline, where students get to work on projects with our Employer Partners.
