We offer a variety of courses across the borough, from short 4–6 week sessions to longer qualifications. Courses run year-round, so you can start when it suits you.
Our friendly, supportive classes help you build confidence and learn at your own pace. Tutors will tailor a personal learning plan to meet your needs and help plan your next steps.
To join a Functional Skills course in English, Maths, or ICT, you'll need to complete an assessment to ensure you're placed in the right class.
