In these challenging economic times, you will be pleased to know that many of our students will be eligible for fee waivers, discounts and financial support to help with course and exam fees and other costs. We continue to keep our fees as low as possible.

We wish you every success and enjoyment in your chosen course of study.

900 of our 5,000 students took part in the national on-line student satisfaction surveys. Our overall rating increased from 8.9 to 9.1 (out of 10). 96% said they would recommend us to a friend or family member. Our students gave us especially high ratings for the quality of teaching, support given and respect shown by staff.

We had a full Ofsted inspection in December and were judged to “Outstanding” - we are

one of only 3 adult education providers in the country to have this top rating.

L A S T Y E A R W A S B R I L L I A N T F O R O U R S T U D E N T S A N D S TA F F

Our overall success rate for qualification courses in 2013-14 was published and now

stands at an all-time high of 91%, which is 6% above the national average.

Progression to Level 2 is not guaranteed and will depend on your maths skills, so you may be advised to also join our English and maths courses to develop these skills.

Bookkeeping and Accounting are fast paced courses with small qualification assessments throughout, so it is really important that you attend every session. It is easy to fall behind if you take on this course without commitment and the ability to attend each week. To make sure you achieve, why not make use of the additional support the tutor gives in the Learning Development session.
