They say you never stop learning. So why should you stop
studying?
Our Adult Skills Academy offers courses for students aged 19 and over -
there are more adult learners studying with us than any other age group.
It's the hub for adult learning and offers courses across a range of levels,
subjects, qualifications and formats.
Whether you're progressing to the next stage of full-time study, trying out
a new subject part-time, improving your career prospects, or returning to
study after years away, we've got the courses to help you progress in your
career or education. Training is offered from beginner to postgraduate
level.
Our adult learners get the same award-winning support, have access to
the same fantastic facilities, and enjoy the same great college experience
as any of our other students.
A truly great college - passionate about success.
You can study full-time day courses, part-time evening
courses, or short 4-week courses - whatever works
with your commitments and your lifestyle.
Start dates are flexible too, with courses running from September,
October, January and April. And for ultimate flexibility you can study
remotely on our online flexible learning or E-learning courses.
We offer English, Maths, Digital and ESOL (English for Speakers of
Other Languages) courses to help adult learners develop the core
skills needed to progress to further education or employment.
We also provide industry-specific training and short courses for those
wanting to take the next step in their career.
And if you want to go on to study at university or take a higher-level
