Our Schools College Opportunities to Succeed (SCOTS) Programme may interest you if you are a school pupil who wants to experience college without having to undertake a full qualification. You may be thinking about leaving school or staying on but are still determining if the career path you are thinking about is right for you.

The SCOTS programme allows you to try a course more relaxed manner with no pressure of having to fit a full qualification into your timetables.

Previously, some pupils look to the SCOTS programme as a way of building confidence to apply for a course either on the School College Partnership programme or as a transition course to familiarise themselves with the college environment.

After completing the SCOTS programme, we are confident you will better know which career path you would like to follow.

The SCOTS programme is only available to pupils from schools based in Falkirk.

For further information and to apply, pupils should speak to a staff member at their school.

Applications are now live, these are referral based from schools and will close on Friday 30 May 2025 - please contact your school for more information.
