Access Courses
These courses are for you if you want to obtain more qualifications for work or make a change in your career.
Our hugely popular Access courses are your route to university or a new career. Running over 1 year, typically over a compact 3 days per week timetable. The Advanced Learner Loan could even make this course FREE (please see page 10).
Apprenticeships
A perfect mix of learning whilst earning. Apprenticeships are open to anyone (over 16) not in full time education. They are also often used as CPD (Continuing Professional Development) for people already in a role they wish to progress with.
If you need a qualification for work, or maybe just want to help your children with their homework, or organise the household budget a little better, these courses are for you. They are FREE if you do not already have a GCSE at A*-C or 9-4 and are aged 19+.
