Step 3: Advice and Guidance Meetings
Shortly after the application deadline (12 January 2021) the online booking will open for our Advice and Guidance Meetings.
Advice and Guidance meetings are informal, 30-minute sessions held virtually via video call taking place throughout the Spring and Summer terms.
Your meeting will be with a member of our friendly teaching staff who will discuss your future career plans, your reasons for choosing your programme of study and find out more about you as an individual. Parents and Carers are encouraged to attend your meeting with you.
Step 4: Offer to study
Shortly after your Advice and Guidance Meeting, your interviewer will update your Long Road Online Services account with your chosen courses and conditional offer. You will be sent a confirmation email detailing your conditional offer, once you have received this confirmation email you need to log in to your Long Road Online Services account to accept the offer.
Accepting your offer to study does not confirm your place as a Long Road student, however, it does mean you will be invited to our Welcome Days.
Please note: applicants can accept and hold offers from multiple colleges before making their final decision on GCSE results day.
