Advice, interviews & auditions

Drop-in advice
You are welcome to talk to programme area (department) staff about your choice of course. Most departments offer set times and dates when you can just drop in – published advice times are here. Occasionally, if you have a very specific enquiry that can’t be answered during this meeting, we might need to speak to the tutor on your behalf for a more detailed response. In this instance, we will aim to get back to you a few days after the meeting.

Tip: You may find that most of your questions may be answered by reading the full course outline available for every course on this website.

Alternatively, you can contact our Advice and Guidance team for general information on courses at City Lit and across London and to discuss additional support which might be available to you.

For some areas e.g. courses for adults with learning disabilities and courses for adults who stammer, a personal assessment is always offered to guide you onto the correct course.
 
Telephone advice
There might be times when you prefer to call the department by telephone for advice rather than coming into the college. If you can't get through straight away (we may be talking to other students or teaching), please do leave a voicemail message and we will aim to get back to you within 2-3 working days. Alternatively please email us - a list of department emails and telephone numbers are here.

Interviews & auditions
Some courses require an interview or audition with the relevant programme area before you can enrol (these courses are marked with a * before the course code e.g. PC303*). This is to make sure that the course is the right level for you, and sometimes there are formal requirements which need to be verified.  The specific details will be described in the course outline for your course, which you can find on this website.

To arrange for an interview or audition, please call the relevant programme area or refer to specific audition times. In some programme areas, the interview can be done during the general advice times, but we would strongly recommend you check this in advance as different practices apply in different areas.

Tip: A successful interview or audition does NOT guarantee you a space on a course. Once you have been accepted by the programme area, you must enrol if you want to secure a space on the course. In general, you will need an enrolment form that has been stamped and signed next to the course details.

Application forms
Some courses require an application form and this will be indicated in the course outline for your course.  If you are successful, you will be contacted by the relevant programme area to advise you on the next stage. Some courses require applicants to attend an interview. Places are offered to successful applicants on a first come first served basis, so early application is recommended.
