If you’ve just finished your GCSEs, you could be the next member of Walsall College’s V6, a sixth form with a difference! As the Midlands’ most exciting and successful sixth form, V6 provides all the benefits of a traditional sixth form but with a strong focus on vocational skills, designed to give you a head-start in the workplace.

Our V6 students are in the top 10% of highest achievers in the UK. This year alone, our students have received national and international acclaim, including gold medals in the Judo European Cup, medals in national WorldSkills competitions and winning the opportunity to perform to a sell-out audience at the National Theatre in London.

Life’s all about variety, choices and freedom to do what you want with your life. You’re unique, an individual – one size never fits all.

We all learn in different ways, some enjoy the academic route (normally GCSE and A level) others prefer a more hands on approach to learning…

If this describes you, there are a range of vocational courses – from BTECs and NVQs, to Diplomas and Apprenticeships – that can get you to University or help you obtain a good job.

In almost all cases, you can achieve the same goal with a vocational qualification as you can with academic study. So whether you’re driven by going to university or getting that dream job, you can get there the V6 way!

Jamie Oliver, Karen Millen and Alesha Dixon all opted for vocational courses, and just look at what they went on to achieve!
