• Ask your careers teacher, Connexions Personal Advisor or a parent to help you with anything you are unsure of

• If you want your careers teacher or Connexions Personal Advisor to add any information to support your application then hand in your completed form to them and they will forward it directly to Trafford College.
• If you want to hand in your application without the above then you can send it straight back to the College at the following address: Admissions, Trafford College, Talbot Road, Stretford, Manchester, M32 0XH

• We'll send you a thank you postcard so you know we've received your application form
• You will then receive a letter inviting you to attend an interview at Trafford College.
• Your interview is your chance to meet your tutor and find out more about your course. With some courses you may have a group presentation as well as having a one to one chat with the course tutor and the opportunity to see more of the course facilities. Why not bring your parents along to find out more? For Music courses you'll have an audition too
• We'll then write and offer you a place on a course that's right for you, which will be conditional on your exam results.

If you don't get the grades you expected don't worry we'll guarantee you a place on a different course to get you back on track.

If at any stage you change your mind about the course you want to study or your personal circumstances change, don't worry, just keep us informed so we can make sure you have all the information you need to proceed with your application.
