The College offers many low-cost short leisure courses for adults
These courses are perfect for sampling a new subject or continuing with a hobby you enjoy. Courses are frequently added throughout the year with varying start dates, making them really flexible.
With the majority of courses being low-cost they are perfect for dipping into and a great way to meet new people. There are also some courses which are in similar subject areas that are usually a little bit longer and sometimes have a qualification attached.
Our short courses are open to people aged 19 years or above at the start of the course.
