The college I'm applying at says you must apply by the end of May and you need to ask student services for an application services but I just spoke to a very young sounding man who frankly didn't sound sure at all. He says that deadline is for the 16/17 year and that I apply after I start for this year? Seems strange as you need to set up child care before then and have an idea on money. I asked him for the form and he wouldn't send it to me as I was hoping to just have a look myself.
