Alfa-college offers programmes in business studies, customer services, health and social care, sports and technology. The IT Academy offers courses to those students who are looking for a job in information and communication services.
The students can choose between either a theoretical programme consisting of day school attendance and placements, or a course of work-based learning, i.e. the apprenticeship programme.
General secondary education such as one-year orientation and bridging courses at foundation level as well as fast track pre-university courses are offered within adult education. Furthermore, Alfa-college provides tailor-made courses for business and industry.
The students’ interests and prospects are central and therefore they are supervised and coached by student counsellors throughout their studies. Alfa-college is in the process of developing a system in which the individual student chooses the educational route adapted to his or her needs. Open learning centres have been set up to promote this flexible learning system and information and communication technology have taken up a key-role within the college.
Alfa-college recognises and meets the growing demand for educational provisions for students from non-Dutch backgrounds. Courses therefore include social and cultural integration and pastoral guidance.
