Your Educational Pathway Starts at LCFE

Qualification levels are defined by the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and reflect the knowledge and skills gained upon completion of each level.

At Lancashire College of Further Education (LCFE), higher education begins at Level 3, which serves as the entry point. Our programmes range from Level 3 to Level 7, with Level 7 representing the highest qualification currently offered.

Progression through the levels typically involves completing the preceding level. However, specific entry requirements vary by course, so we recommend reviewing the detailed criteria on each course webpage. For specific programmes, relevant life and work experience may also be considered as part of the admissions process. If you believe this applies to you, please get in touch with us to discuss your individual circumstances and available options.
