College interview
Once you have applied, we will write to you inviting you to attend an informal interview at the college with the teaching staff. The interview is designed to help ensure we get you on the right course to meet your career and learning objectives. Therefore please select ‘Evening Visit to College’ below. However, if you are an adult learner, and attending an evening interview is difficult, there is the option to have your interview over the phone. If you require this option, please select the ‘Telephone Interview’ option below. A lecturer will then contact you between Monday & Thursday. Please note: The interview process does NOT apply to full cost short courses and distance learning courses. TELEPHONE INTERVIEWS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADULT LEARNERS (AGE 18+) ONLY. During the Summer holiday period, telephone interviews are unfortunately not available due to staff not being on-site. Adults, please select whether you’d prefer an in-college interview, or telephone interview, using the dropdown box below.

Do you have any unspent criminal convictions or convictions that can never become unspent? Please read the terms below.
East Durham College has a commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for our Learners, Staff and visitors and therefore requires all Learners applying for a place to disclose any unspent convictions. Please note that any convictions considered spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders act 1974 should not be disclosed. Disclosing convictions will not exclude you from enrolling on a course at East Durham College, however the information may be used when considering your application and/or the College may require further information from you in order to assist with the decision making process. East Durham College reserves the right to reject an application or enrolment as a result of a criminal conviction when taken into consideration the Colleges responsibilities and rights in the circumstances
