This has been another fantastic year for Level 3 full time and apprenticeship technical professional qualifications at Guernsey College of Further Education and we would like to congratulate all our students.

Our students’ results are a reflection of their hard work and determination to succeed. We are so very proud of them and their positive approach to learning, which has been reflected in this year’s outstanding results and achievements.

Full Time Level 3 Final Year

Overall the full time level 3 final year pass rate is 97%, the highest since reporting in this way commenced.

We are delighted to declare that the provisional achievement rate for our Full Time students on two-year Level 3 courses is superb at 97%, a 3% improvement on last year’s final outturn. Over half of our students (52%) on graded qualifications gained Distinction or Distinction* grades, which are equivalent to A or A*, respectively, at A’ Level.

The results reflect the overall academic ability of our students, as well as the currency that these qualifications have in the work place and for progression to Higher Education or University. The results at this time are provisional as, by the nature of our qualifications, more results are expected in later this week and next.

On behalf of all the staff of Guernsey College, congratulations to all our students.

Louise Misselke, Principal, said: ‘This is an outstanding achievement for our students and staff. I am delighted to see the culmination of everyone’s work in such brilliant results. We know the amount of effort and dedication that both students and staff put in towards achieving these qualifications and are so grateful for all the support students have received from their families, friends, and employers, which has helped everyone to achieve these outstanding results’.

Jeanette Hart, Vice Principal said: ‘Our Full Time students’ achievement results are superb at 97%, in line with the top 10% of the highest performing colleges in the UK; this is fantastic. Many of our students have already secured employment or are getting ready to progress into Higher Education. Our Level 3 Apprentices have also had great success; as yet we do not have all results in, but so far 100% of our Apprentices have achieved. This is an excellent outcome, especially when you consider that the UK achievement rate for Apprentices at Level 3 is 69%. Our Apprentices have invested a number of years in their studies, and have been supported and encouraged by local employers.

‘I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the students on their well-deserved success and extend thanks on their behalf to the all the staff at the College who have supported them along the way to this successful day’.

Julian Winser, Chair of the Board of Governors, said: ‘These results are excellent, and testament to the fact that the College continues to provide excellence and value to both the success of the local community and our local economy; this cannot be underestimated’.

The College is holding Information Advice and Guidance sessions on Friday 24 and Tuesday 28 August at our Les Ozouets Campus for anyone who needs guidance during the results period. In addition, we are holding an Enrolment event between 8.45am and 5.30pm on Wednesday 29 August for all Full Time students, and on Thursday 30 August from 4.30pm – 8.00pm for Part Time and Apprenticeship courses, both at Les Ozouets Campus.
