Welcome.

At Leeds City College, we realise the importance of developing skills fit for today’s workplace in-line with industry demands. That’s why we offer courses specifically designed for adult learners, to help you refresh your skills.

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, we have a wide range of courses at all levels suitable for any starting point. We aim to help you take the first steps back into education and aid you as you achieve your aspirations.

Whether you’re looking to go further in your career, try something new or find that dream job, we have removed as many barriers as possible to help you succeed. Get to university in one year with Access to Higher Education, discover a professional career or develop your skills.

As well as providing you with the opportunities to gain plenty of new knowledge and skills, we also strive to support learners outside of the classroom. We offer flexible timetables, blended and online programmes, childcare support, academic advice and funding guidance for a range of course-related costs.

Take the next step and prove to yourself, and others, that it’s never too late to learn.
