Make 2024 your year with one of our brand new adult courses

It’s safe to say that 2023 was another challenging year. However, our exciting range of full-time and part-time courses starting this month can get 2024 off to a better start and improve your prospects for the year to come. All our courses have been designed with input from employers to ensure they meet the constantly evolving work landscape and are perfect for:

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

There has never been a better time to learn something new or develop your existing skills. Whether you’re just starting out in a new industry, looking to start again or continuing your professional development, our short CPD courses will keep your CV fresh and up to date and help you to gain accredited qualifications.

RE-TRAINING FOR A NEW CAREER

Looking for a fresh start in a new career? The start of a new year is a great time to refocus and go again. We have courses starting in number of industries that require little to no previous experience, perfect for trying something for the first time and gaining your first qualification on the ladder to re-training.

FOLLOWING YOUR UNIVERSITY DREAM

Always wanted to go to university but didn’t think it was an option available to you? Think again! Our Access and Pre-Access to HE courses will help you gain the requirements you need to attend university in no time at all!

STUDYING FOR A DEGREE

Whilst most university degrees usually start in September, we’ve got full-time and part time degrees ready to go this January! As competition in the jobs market increases, having a degree on your CV is a brilliant way to showcase your skill level and make sure you’re top of the pile.

RE-ENGAGING IN EDUCATION

If you feel like you’ve hit a bit of a dead end and don’t know what to do next, don’t panic. We have a range of courses for adults who are looking to re-discover their passion for education, as well as gain the skills and qualifications needed to apply for jobs.

HOW CAN WE SUPPORT YOU?

Starting a new qualification at any time might have you feeling a little bit nervous. That’s completely understandable but we want to reassure you that our fantastic Student Support Teams and Tutors are here to make sure that you have everything that you need during your study. Whether that’s with advice and guidance, additional support or simply someone to talk to, we’re here to help. We can help with things such as:
