1. Arrive onsite: our open events take place at our Main Campus. There is free car parking available. When arriving onsite, follow signs for 'Main Reception' - you'll be greeted by event staff here.
2. Check-in: have your QR code ready - this makes checking in super easy and helps speed things along.
3. Information, advice and guidance: you will have the opportunity to speak to as many subject areas as you like. If you're unsure, we have our Advice, Support, Careers (ASC) Team on hand, as well as Learner Support Team, too.
4. Receive an offer: we do our best to ensure you leave the open event with an offer for a place at NCD. If we aren't able to make you an offer on the day, i.e. we need you to meet with a particular tutor or if the event is particularly busy, then you will be invited back in to 'Meet the Tutor'.
