Default How does College work nowadays?

Im going back soon, just in the process of finding a course i want to do, which i think ive done today
Obviously i need to enrol, i just wondered what else do i need to do? should i expect an interview or any kind of tests prior to getting into the course? i only ask this because my mate is doing a course and she had to have a basic maths/english test first before being accepted

Probably an interview and just a few easy tests on maths/english/science or key skills

And don't worry cos if you can't pass them, then you should be going back to school not college

Will work the same as always. Blag your way in. Spend the duration of the course messing about and getting drunk while trying to pull girls and then realise you've got a whole shit load of work to do in a week and a half to pass the course.

you come across as a bit of a thick cunt, so tell the college I suggest they test/interview you

Ive done ONC's, a HNC and currently doing a part time degree. NO interviews, just enrolment.
