How to Apply
Step One:
- Decide if you think you fit the selection criteria (see below).
- Download the prospectus or call Clean Break to ask for a prospectus.
- Select a course you want to do, or if you are not sure, just have a look at what is on offer.
- Call Clean Break and speak to Jacqueline, our Student Support Manager, to arrange an interview.
- Come along to one of our Open Days.
- After Steps One and Two you will attend an interview for 45 minutes with
the Student Support Manager. Here you will have the opportunity to discuss
your educational and personal needs.
- If the interview is successful you will be enrolled that day, be given a date to start your course and an induction pack to take away with you.
- Do you have experience of the criminal justice system? This means you are or have been in contact with the police, have been cautioned or sentenced for an offence, are on remand, on a rehabilitation order, on bail, on a community sentence, in prison or known to a Youth Offending Team.
- Are you at risk of offending due to drug/alcohol use or mental health needs? This may mean you have recently completed a drug/alcohol rehabilitation programme and feel that you are vulnerable to committing an offence or are in contact with mental health services as a result of a referral by the police.
- Are you over the age of 18 years to attend courses? (with the exception of the access course when you have to be over 19 years and the Girls and Young Women’s Project for those aged 14 to 21 years old).
- Do you have a keen interest in exploring your creativity and the ability to commit to a course and the potential to achieve the course outcomes?
