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.

Step Two:

Call Clean Break and speak to Jackie, our Student Support Manager, to arrange an interview.
Come along to one of our Open Days.

Step Three:

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.
