How to Find Courses and the Prospectus on the Totton College Website

Totton College's website provides two main ways to find what you need: the Course finder for searching courses and apprenticeships, and a downloadable 2027 Prospectus. Both are accessible from the homepage. If you already know what you want to study, start with the Course finder; if you want an overview of everything on offer first, download the prospectus.

Using the Course Finder

The Course finder is the site's search tool for courses and apprenticeships. It appears on the homepage under the heading "Course finder," with the description "Search our courses and apprenticeships."

To use it:

1. Go to the Totton College homepage.
2. Locate the Course finder section.
3. Enter your search — for example, a subject area or course type — to find matching courses and apprenticeships.
4. Review the results and follow the link for the course you're interested in.

The expected result is a list of courses or apprenticeships matching your search, from which you can open individual course pages for more detail.

Downloading the 2027 Prospectus

The 2027 Prospectus is available to download directly from the homepage. The site states: "2027 Prospectus Now available Download."

This is the quickest route if you want a single document covering the college's offerings rather than searching course by course. Look for the prospectus section on the homepage and use the download link provided.

Exploring Further Information

The homepage also includes several Explore sections. These are additional entry points for finding out more about the college and what it offers. If the Course finder doesn't surface what you're looking for, or you want broader context before choosing, these sections are worth checking.

Applying Once You've Found a Course

When you've identified a course, the site's Apply Now option lets you apply using the online application form. There is also a sign-in option for existing applicants. Note that the homepage promotes applying for September 2027, so check that the intake you're interested in matches what's currently open.

Other Things Worth Knowing

• Open Evening: The site lists an Open Evening on Tuesday 13 October, with a sign-up option. This is useful if you want to visit before applying.
• Ofsted rating: Totton College is rated 'Good' by Ofsted (June 2024), which the site highlights as a point of reassurance.
• College focus: Totton College describes itself as a specialist in vocational courses and apprenticeships, so the Course finder is oriented toward those pathways rather than academic A-level style provision.

Quick Reference

If you're unsure where to start, download the prospectus for the full picture, then use the Course finder to drill into specific subjects. If you already have a subject in mind, go straight to the Course finder.
