Looking to gain an accredited qualification?

Take a look at our Undergraduate and Professional qualifications on page 18.

With over 900 part time and evening courses available, there is no better time to get on course.

We are delighted to share our new Adult Learning Guide with our course offering for September 2024 – July 2025. This year we have over 900 courses, with new courses in Cookery, DIY, Homecrafts, and Green Skills.

Let’s hear what some of our students say...

Christine joined our Yoga course in the spring of 2023. A year on, she shared the following:

“This is my second year on the Yoga course at the College because I enjoyed and valued the first course so much.

Sam is an exceptional teacher - she is encouraging, knowledgeable and very sensitive to the fact that we all have our own strengths and weaknesses.

The course helps me to maintain my flexibility in a safe and inclusive atmosphere and has helped me make new friendships!”

“I’ve really enjoyed having the chance to unplug from computers and screens and to do something creative. I’ve met lots of new people, made time for a hobby, and my tutor is really helpful and patient.”

Cathryn Learner, Pottery

Our vision is to be a college where everyone achieves more than they believe possible. No matter what your passion, we have plenty of courses to choose from.

Whether you are on course to carve out a new career, start a new hobby, embrace a healthier lifestyle, or to pick up a new language; we hope you find a course that sparks your interest and that you enjoy reading about some of our brilliant students and staff who help us to achieve the extraordinary.

“The course was extremely helpful. There was a solidarity among the parents on the course, and the course tutor was outstanding.”

Philip Learner, Managing Children’s Feelings and Behaviour

“The benefits of an apprenticeship are more than you can imagine. You get a qualification, money to put aside, and you get the best of college life too.” Harry, Business Administration Apprentice

“I like teaching and I love art, so the courses are a perfect combination for me. I am always happy when I see my students enjoying my classes and when they are relaxed.

There is no judgement, and there are no rules. My main goal is to help people unwind and find something that can transport them away from their everyday demands and stresses.

Every lesson we try something different, so everyone finds things that they enjoy.”

“I studied a bit of Spanish many years ago before I got married and had my children. Now, I am in my late 50s I have more time for myself so I decided to study Spanish again.

I have a great tutor who is kind, patient, and supportive, and every week, I look forward to going to my Spanish class. I am learning Spanish because I love the language and love going to Spain on my holidays.”

Teaching for me is a bridge to my Italian Heritage, it’s so much more than just learning, it’s about sharing together and enjoying the experience.”

“With guidance, time, and patience I surprised myself in being able to do pleasing still-life drawings and scenic paintings. I have found art to be very relaxing and rewarding, and I have developed a new network of friends.”

“The RHS course at Common Leys Farm campus has helped me improve my base knowledge of plants and gardening practice, whilst also boosting my confidence as a professional gardener and in my own garden.

I have made some good friends and joined a community of other gardeners, which I wasn’t expecting.

Being in the garden and working outdoors is a fantastic privilege and one which I shall never take for granted.”
