What do I have to do to enrol for a course?
For all courses, you will be asked to complete a registration, followed by an enrolment form and have a short discussion with one of our advisors to make sure the course is right for you. If you are enrolling for an accredited course, you will also be asked to complete an online English assessment (and maths, in some cases) and achieve a certain level of ability, depending on the qualification.
What is an accredited course?
Accredited courses are programmes that require a BKSB assessment (see below), are subject to formal evaluation and are recognised by an awarding body. Successful completion will result in a nationally recognised qualification.
What is a BKSB assessment?
The Basic and Key Skills Builder (or BKSB) is designed to assess the level of a candidate in English, maths and information and communication technology (ICT) before joining an accredited programme. This ensures that the learner meets the required level for the course. For most accredited courses, only an English assessment is required.
What is a non-accredited course?
Non-accredited courses are normally short, consisting of one or two sessions. They still offer valuable knowledge and skills but lack endorsement by an awarding body and are not subject to formal evaluation.
Are courses available online or in-person?
Courses may be delivered online or in a classroom setting, depending on the subject being taught.
What kind of learning materials will be provided?
Learners will have access to comprehensive course materials, including presentations, handouts, and additional resources to support their learning journey.
What support will I receive during the course?
Your tutor will be on hand during classes to help you and to support you through challenging modules. Outside of the classroom, your tutor can be contacted for help with any queries. Our Admin Team is also available to answer technical questions.
Are the courses suitable for individuals from any industry?
Yes. The courses cater to professionals across various industries, providing transferable skills applicable in diverse workplace environments. All of our courses are designed to equip individuals with the skills necessary to succeed in their chosen field, whether they are new to it or seeking advancement.
Will I receive a certificate upon course completion?
Yes. Upon successfully completing an accredited course, participants will receive a recognised certification. Participants who successfully complete a non-accredited course will receive a certificate of attendance.
