Part-time Adult Course Guide 25/26

Welcome The choice to step back into education can include many factors, but we hope this adult course guide of Redcar and Cleveland College, Stockton Riverside College and Innersummit Professional Services (with delivery options at Bede Sixth Form College) will provide all the necessary information to make the decision as simple as possible.

A short course can be a great choice if you’re looking to upskill in your current role, learn a new hobby, or if you’re considering a career change. With flexible options across our sites, designed specifically to work around busy lives, we aim to provide you with the relevant skills employers are looking for.

Studying with us means smaller class sizes, closer links with your tutors, and plenty of opportunity for one-on-one support and discussions.

We feel lucky to share all your hopes and ambitions and be part of the next step into your future. Our staff care about each individual’s success and take pride in being able to help shape every life.

So, if you are looking for support in every step of your study, whilst having flexible options to help with the busyness of everyday life, we cannot wait to receive your application.

These benchmarks ensure you have access to quality careers guidance, together with experience of the workplace, encounters with employers and current labour market information.

This in turn allows you to make informed decisions about your future career plans.

English and Maths These are skills that we take for granted, but we all use English and maths every day, often without thinking about it. That is why we believe it is important all of our students have a good grasp of the basics. We offer a range of part-time GCSE English, maths and functional skills courses to help you build these essential skills that all employers are looking for. We can help you make the grade!

How We’ll Support You We want all of our students to enjoy their time with us, so we offer a range of services to make sure you’ll always feel comfortable and supported. If you need help in or out of the classroom, just ask.

Safeguarding and Welfare

SEND/EHCP

We prioritise your safety at all times. We have a Safeguarding and Welfare Team with dedicated safeguarding roles at all of our college sites. We can offer advice and support to ensure that help can be sought from external agencies to enable the best outcomes for our students’ safety and overall wellbeing. If you should feel unsafe or feel you would benefit from support, we are here to make sure you are heard and safe at all times. Please speak to your tutor about any worries in the first instance.

Alternatively, you can email: safe@the-etc.ac.uk

We are committed to supporting you to meet your individual goals and aspirations.

We welcome applications from students with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). We will work with you to provide the right resources, support and services to meet your needs. To ensure we can provide the appropriate support, we will ask to see a copy of your Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) or SEN Support Plan. This allows us to understand and determine how best to meet your support needs. We work closely with the local authorities and ensure we adhere to the special education needs code of practice.

Equality and Diversity We value the diversity of our college community and promote inclusion for all. We take steps to ensure that all of our students have equal access to our services. We encourage a culture of respect and commit to tackling prejudice at all levels. By encouraging students and staff to share their own experiences, we aim to promote mutual understanding.
