As you are likely to take part in work experience which involves either children or vulnerable adults as part of all these courses, you will need to complete an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. If you have a criminal record, you may still gain a place on the course, it depends on the nature and background of any offence. If you would like to discuss this issue in confidence, please contact our Student Services Advisers on 01244 834511, or call in to speak to them in person.

"I enjoyed every aspect of the course. The tutors were supportive and encouraging. They have a wealth of knowledge and really helped me when I was applying to do nursing in the Army. My application was successful and I will soon start at Birmingham University, I can't thank Deeside College enough".
