COURSES TO SUIT EVERYONE Our mission is creating learning environments where every student can achieve their full potential, so you’ll be welcomed on to one of our exciting education programmes. Full-time We believe in lifelong learning and our courses aren’t just for those wanting to study part-time. Most of our full-time provision welcomes adult learners. Typically, a full-time course runs over 2.5 to 3 days per week unless it’s fast-track, meaning you can still work part-time or carry out caring responsibilities. We have an extensive selection of full-time courses that are tailored to suit your needs as a mature student. Just some of our course areas include: childcare and education, creative arts, computing, engineering and automotive technologies, health and social care, science, sport, travel, food and drink, and more... You’ll often learn in small class sizes with similar 19+ learners so you’ll be surrounded by like-minded individuals in a supportive learning environment.

For queries, please call 0113 386 1997 to speak to our friendly team.

It’s never too late to learn, and we’re here to support you with your education journey. Apprenticeships are a great way to train and reskill for a career change, or to develop your existing skills for your current role.
