ANDOVER College will be opening its doors to prospective students with an open event this month.
The open event will be held between 4.30pm and 7.30pm on Thursday, June 29.
It is expected to be an excellent opportunity for students to learn about the Sparsholt and Andover campuses and the new T Level qualifications.
The Andover campus has an A-level pass rate of 99.7 per cent, according to the college.
The T Level qualifications will be delivered at both campuses thanks to investment from the Department for Education (DfE).

The DfE recently announced the outcome of the T Level Capital Fund applications and confirmed that proposed projects for digital, construction, and health and science at Andover College and agriculture, environmental, and animal care at Sparsholt College have been awarded a total of £2.2m investment.
College Group principal Julie Milburn said: “Andover College is grateful for the continued investment from the DofE in the modern industry-standard facilities that our learners need and deserve. With the completion of several developments in sight we are excited to share the facilities with prospective students and hope to build a stronger picture of the cutting-edge technology they can expect from not only our T Level delivery but the college as a whole.”
At Andover Campus, the investment will allow for the expansion of the technology and future skills centre to provide for the delivery of the onsite construction T Level, with extended facilities for bricklaying and carpentry, the college said.
New facilities are also currently being developed for the delivery of T Levels in digital development and production, and nursing.
Digital investment will provide for multimedia facilities, offer a broadcasting suite, and provide a new cyber security laboratory.
The new nursing facility will provide mock wards, consultation facilities and mock ups of domestic care settings with the appropriate equipment.
There are lecturers from all subjects on hand to tell you all about their courses as well as welcome talks from the vice principal, Ben Stokes.
Student support teams are also on hand to speak about courses, career paths, financial support and wellbeing. Current students will be guides and discuss their experiences of what college life is like.
