Full time Higher Education isn’t for everyone. Not only can it be expensive through traditional HE institutions such as university but it limits the possibility of earning alongside studying.
At North Notts College we offer part-time study in a number of subject areas including Accountancy, Business, Computing, Childcare and Sport. The flexibility of these courses allows the development of new skills and career prospects without the need to give up work and leads to nationally recognised qualifications.
We also offer a range of higher level professional courses such as Management and Health and Safety on a flexible basis, allowing employees to gain a nationally-recognised qualification without impacting heavily on their current job role.
