Why study with us?

From the moment you enrol with us, you will be welcomed into a friendly, supportive community where we encourage you to pursue your passion and be the very best you can be. Our adult learning programmes were rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted inspectors in May 2022. They said, “Adults make rapid progress in developing their subject knowledge, they grow in confidence and develop skills that help them prepare for their next steps in education and employment.”

We offer a wide range of flexible study options in facilities across Leeds – from our Park Lane, Printworks and Quarry Hill campuses, to Deacon House in Seacroft, Enfield Centre in Harehills, Rothwell Centre and Joseph Priestley Centre, Beeston. These are predominantly adult-based centres, so you will be studying alongside fellow adult learners – giving you the perfect opportunity to widen your social circle.

Regardless of whether you study a professional, vocational or Access to HE course, you will enjoy a host of progression opportunities to take you to the next level. This could be an apprenticeship, further qualifications, a university degree or even employment.

We are also committed to making your studies as easy as possible, which is why financial support is available to help with childcare and travel costs (subject to eligibility).
