FAQs

Applying to JACE - FAQs

Yes. The same application form covers both, and there is a question on it asking what you are interested in. If you are not sure which suits you, apply anyway or use the Talk to us form above and our Student Services team will help you decide.
Education Programmes are for 16 to 18 year olds. Apprenticeships are open to anyone aged 16 or over. Professional and adult courses are generally for learners aged 19 and over.
You need to be employed in a relevant role to start an apprenticeship, but you do not need one to apply. Browse our live jobs board or apply and we will help match you to an employer.
Nothing. Applying is free, and apprenticeship training costs you nothing as the apprentice - it is funded through the apprenticeship levy or government co-investment. For adult courses, see fees and funding.
Entry requirements vary by programme and level. Many of our programmes focus on attitude and potential rather than existing qualifications, and we support learners to gain Functional Skills English and maths alongside their programme.
We aim to respond to every application and enquiry within 72 hours.
Absolutely. Parents and carers are welcome to help with the application and to ask us questions. See our Parents and Career Advisors page for more.
Tell us on your application or when we call. We offer 1:1 support, reasonable adjustments and additional help with English, maths and study skills. Our Student Services team will talk it through with you.
