Lots of colleges offer employability programmes. But only Barnfield College gives you GAP.
GAP is all about unlocking your potential. You’ll learn what career you want and how to get there. You’ll get in front of the right people. You’ll find out what motivates you. And you’ll take time off to do the things you love (hey, everyone needs a bit of downtime).
Most of all, you’ll build the confidence and self-belief to get where you want to go.

GAP is the gateway to an unstoppable career. It’s run alongside every course and tailored to you. Check out our courses and know that with GAP to back it up, you’ve got big opportunities ahead.
