Adult Learners
If you’re aged 19 or over, and if you are looking to get a job, advance in your career, go to university, or start something new, we can help. We have many courses for adults that can help you achieve your goals – including Access to Higher Education diplomas, practical work-based courses (from Entry Level to Level 3), A Level Intensives, Higher Education (Level 4 and above), and apprenticeships.
Studying at college might seem daunting if you’ve been out of a classroom or workshop for a while. At Capital City College Group, we will do our best to support you through your course, whatever your situation. We offer a flexible approach to learning, and the Learner Experience team is on-hand to provide help – from childcare to funding and financial support – so that you can complete your qualification
We also know that the cost of studying can be a worry for adult students, so we offer all of our Entry Level to Level 2 courses for FREE, regardless of your age or income.
If you’re not quite sure what you’d like to study or want to retrain for a new career, we also run a large range of free, part-time short courses, including courses at Level 3 and Level 4, where you can get a taste of a subject because you embark on a longer course.
All of our centers have classrooms and workshops with industry-recommended equipment, as well as well-stocked libraries, social spaces, and cafes, creating a vibrant, sociable place to study alongside students of all ages and backgrounds.
Why not come to an open day and check out our facilities for yourself? If you already know what you’d like to study, find out more about how to apply
