Our full-time courses offer essential qualifications and hands-on skills to prepare you for the next stage in education or your career.

We offer part-time programmes, allowing you to pursue qualifications that can advance your career, open new opportunities, or deepen your knowledge in a particular field. In addition to our vocational and academic courses, we also offer short leisure courses for those interested in personal development and lifelong learning.

A vocational course focuses on teaching practical skills and knowledge specifically geared toward a particular profession or trade. Unlike traditional academic courses, which often emphasise theory, vocational courses are hands on and designed to prepare you directly for the workplace. These courses cover various fields and you can view all our course departments here.

Vocational courses often include a mix of classroom learning and real world experience, such as work placements or practical assignments, which help you build the skills that employers in that field are looking for. The goal is to equip you with job ready skills and relevant industry knowledge so you can enter the workforce with confidence, advance in your current role, or even pursue further study in the same field.

We offer a wide range of courses, from Entry Level to Levels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. We also provide Foundation courses with extra support, along with T Levels that offer valuable hands-on workplace experience. Get more details about entry requirements and types of qualifications here.
