What can you study?
Whether you’re looking to get back into education after a break or want to completely change your career, we have a range of course options that will set you on the right path.
From Distance learning and professional qualifications to Access to HE and ESOL courses, there’s something for everyone no matter what stage you’re at in your educational journey.
Professional Qualifications
Be in-demand, increase your employability and earning potential, then get ready for that promotion.
What we offer
The job market has become increasingly competitive; some industries have changed forever, whilst other sectors are flourishing but struggle to fill positions due to a lack of appropriately skilled talent. Right now is a great time to develop new skills, retrain, or add to your skill-set with a professional qualification. We have a range of qualifications with different study options, so you can choose what works for you.
Access To Higher Education
The Access to Higher Education Diploma is a qualification that prepares people without traditional qualifications for study at university.
What we offer
The courses are nationally-recognised Level 3 qualifications designed to prepare adults to study in higher education. Courses are designed, in particular, for people who have been out of education for some time, especially those who left school with too few qualifications to be able to go straight to university. Access to HE courses provide a good foundation in the knowledge and skills required for studying at university level so that students are confident and well prepared when they go on to higher education.
ESOL
This course provides tailored English study options to improve qualifications for further education and employment opportunities.
What we offer
Our English for Speakers of Other Languages courses will improve English reading, writing and speaking skills, equipping students with the necessary skills to further their employment and life in the UK.
You will learn to apply your newfound skills in different contexts, such as Business, Citizenship and everyday life, improving job prospects and further academic potential. As well as reading, writing and speaking, you will work on your mathematics and IT skills, helping you to grow your skillset.
Apprenticeship Education
Apprenticeships combine ‘on-the-job’ training with ‘off-the-job’ teaching – whether in the classroom, via online training, or during one-to-one sessions with your mentor.
What we offer
School Leaver Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes that offer on-the-job learning and formal qualifications. They help you earn a salary, gain new skills, and progress in your career.
Apprenticeships for Adults
Adult apprenticeships are not a separate category of apprenticeships, but a term used to refer to apprenticeships for people aged 19 or older.
Online Learning
Online Learning Free courses enable you to study and gain recognised qualifications in your own space.
What we offer
There is a wide range of free courses available to study at Level 2 and some at Level 3. These courses are completely free* to eligible learners and are assessed by a variety of written assessments. Courses are studied online to fit around your lifestyle, work patterns, and other commitments. From health care to business administration, to understanding autism, browse our range of courses, and get studying.
English & Maths
Improving your Maths and English skills is a great way to prepare to further your studies or kick off your career.
What we offer
Our Adult English courses develop the skills required to read, write, speak, listen and communicate at an appropriate level. You will learn to apply these skills effectively to a range of purposes in the workplace and in other real-life situations.
Our Adult Maths courses teach the underpinning skills and basics of mathematics at an appropriate level. You will learn to apply mathematical thinking to solve problems in familiar situations.
You will learn in a class of fellow adults with similar skills, and in similar situations, to you. You will learn from professional, experienced tutors and have access to our facilities, including libraries and learning resources.
