Welcome to your local community college

Part time, full time, distance learning or at work... There are lots of different ways to learn new skills

Studying part time means that you can fit your learning around your life, whether it’s work or family commitments.

We offer everything from three-year degree level courses to short taster courses.

We have a range of qualifications and subjects available through part time study including:

• professional qualifications to improve your career prospects
