EKC Group has a diverse student population, with learners of all ages across subject areas and courses.
Learning at College will keep your knowledge up to date and can lead to personal and professional growth at any age.
Whether you want to learn as a hobby or develop your career, College is the right place for any age.
There are flexible options available on our courses, with our adult programmes designed to work around your busy life.
Adult courses also offer part-time study options, meaning you can work around your existing career and learn at a time that is right for you.
It’s never too late to pursue a new passion or career path.
Many successful career changes happen later in life and your previous work experience can often be applied in new and exciting ways in a different field.
Retraining can lead to increased job satisfaction and potentially higher earnings.
Whilst education is an investment, there are many ways to make it affordable.
Advanced Learner Loans and Bursaries are available, and depending on your household income and previous educational qualifications, some of the courses can even be FREE.
Contact us or speak to our team at an Open Day to learn more.
Many adult learners find they’re more motivated and focused when returning to education after a while.
College will look at recent work experience and overall life experience, not just past grades.
Support services like tutoring and academic skills workshops are available to help you succeed.
“Studying alongside people from different backgrounds has been a really enriching experience.
“For me, returning to education as an adult has simply been another part of that lifelong journey of learning and growth.”
“I’ve been saying to my friends that I highly recommend going back to learning because you can get so much out of it.
“I think it’s better than I expected because I’m doing something that I want to do.”
“I studied here about ten years ago but put education on hold when I became pregnant with my first child.
“When this course came up, I felt there was nothing to lose by giving it a try — and it turned out to be the right decision.”
