4. Confirmation Letter

Following the interview, you will be sent a letter confirming the offer - either a firm or conditional acceptance, depending on whether or not you have been asked to achieve certain examination grades. You will need to return the acceptance slip to Admissions, which will arrive with the confirmation letter.

5. Information Pack

You will receive an information pack containing additional details about student life at Neath Port Talbot College and giving enrolment and term dates.

6. Examination Results

If you have not achieved your desired examination results, don’t worry, staff will be available at both campuses during enrolment to give advice and guidance about possible changes to your original course. If you have achieved the necessary grades, but would like to change your original course choice, you can also do this during enrolment.

Part-time Courses

Once you have decided on a particular course, please contact Admissions in the first instance for further details on the enrolment process and in obtaining an enrolment form.
