Please note: learners are limited to taking part in a maximum of six community learning courses throughout the academic year.

We offer a fantastic range of FREE or low-cost courses at our college sites, designed to help you take the next step in education, build new skills, or simply connect with others in a welcoming environment.

Whether you're returning to learning, taking steps into employment, or keen to meet new people while enhancing your wellbeing, our courses provide the perfect opportunity.

Our Community Learning team delivers short, engaging courses in areas such as arts and crafts, food and cooking, wellbeing, and parenting. These friendly and supportive sessions focus on enjoyment and personal development, with no pressure to work towards a qualification.

Eligibility & Fees

If you're on recognised benefits or earn less than £25,000 per year, you could be eligible for a full tuition fee waiver. To apply, you’ll need to complete a self-declaration form (online or on paper) before starting your course. The College may request additional documents to verify eligibility.

For students who don’t qualify for a full waiver, there is a small fee. Please note that enrolment is limited to six courses per academic year.
