Learn something new in 2018 Get 2018 off to a flying start by learning something new. We have a number of short, full-time courses starting in January that can be a great first step into education and are will get you started on the right track.
Access to HN Business, Administration and IT
Our brand new Access to HN Business, Administration and IT will prepare you for study in Business or Administration and IT at HNC level, and is ideal if you don’t currently have the minimum entry requirements for these courses. We can tailor the course to your interests and even include some computing units which can set you on track for an NC Computing with Digital Media. You’ll learn lots of useful skills and we guarantee to interview you for one of these programmes if you complete the course successfully.
Social Services SVQs
With the Scottish government’s commitment to increasing free childcare to 1140 annual hours by 2020, there’s never been a better time to think about a career in the childcare sector, as this increasing entitlement will require a substantially larger workforce. Our range of SVQs in Social Services Children and Young People, will give you lots of practical experience in working with children and young people as well as a nationally recognised qualification. You’ll attend college for 2 days each week and spend the rest of time in a work placement, where you can put your new skills into practice.
Maritime Skills course
Our Maritime Skills course is available in Oban and Lochgilphead. This combines SQA and RYA / MCA certification so you’ll receive a comprehensive introduction to the maritime industries, as well as gaining internationally recognised certificates.
Part time courses
We also have a range part time courses which can help improve your skills and enhance your chances of getting a job. You might want to brush up on your computer skills with the European Computer Driving Licence. You can study at home, online, at a time that fits around your other commitments, or join an evening class to take a more structured approach.
