Courses

All of our courses are vocational – which means they are ‘related to work’ and lead to a recognised City & Guilds qualification. That means the government will fund them and we don’t have to charge you tuition fees! If you don’t want the qualification, then you probably need to be looking at a leisure course, perhaps offered by Learn Direct. Amongst our students are those that are retired or do not need computer knowledge for their work. They say that although they don’t ‘need’ the qualification for work, they enjoy the challenge and the sense of achievement when their certificate arrives!
