These one-year courses are ideal for building up your confidence, knowledge and academic skills to prepare you for Higher Education at college or university.
Apprenticeships are a great cost-effective way to upskill, progress or change careers and aren’t just for people at the start of their career. If you’re currently working, ask your employer about supporting you through an apprenticeship; we can help them access grants and funding. If you aren’t currently working we can help you secure a placement through our network of employers.
These free, informal, short courses are taught in a relaxed setting in venues throughout the local area. They’re ideal for meeting new people, discovering a hobby or passion and learning new skills. Courses last 5-10 weeks and are taught once a week over just a few hours.
Our distance learning courses are ideal for those looking to upskill or change careers and are free and flexible; you can learn at your own pace and fit studying around other commitments. All are accredited by CACHE, one of the UK’s leading awarding organisations and last 9-17 weeks.
Our professional courses will help you learn a new skill and gain an industry-recognised qualification which will provide you with the skills and knowledge required to gain employment in your chosen industry.
