Courses for adults aged 19 and over
Qualifications, short courses and routes into work, here at the college and in community venues across Tees Valley. Many learners study free of charge. Start with whichever of these sounds most like you.
I want to get into work
Six pathways that combine qualifications, a work placement and English and maths into a route towards a particular kind of job.
I want to get back into learning
Short 6 to 8 week courses with no exam and no qualification, run in community venues. A gentle way back in if you have been out of education for a while.
I want to help my child
Courses on how children learn, what to do about social media, and how to support a child with additional needs, from short courses through to a qualification in early years.
My employer sent me
We build training around what an employer actually needs, combining qualifications with the checks and short courses that go alongside them.
