You can now view and apply for courses running up until July 2010 – click here to view all short course dates at a glance. Short courses at Fircroft are broadly split into two main areas:

 

'Progression Pathway’ courses are aimed at learners with few or no formal qualifications, who wish to return to improve their skills and confidence, achieve personal or work goals and fulfil their potential.

 

Professional courses for the Voluntary Sector support voluntary and community organisations to work effectively and fulfil their purpose and mission, as well as adding to and developing the expertise of staff/volunteers and trustees

 

For many people, these courses are FREE of charge!

Fircroft College offers a unique experience where students live and learn in an attractive and supportive environment.

Founded in 1909, Fircroft occupies one of the Cadbury family homes set in six acres of beautiful grounds in Selly Oak, Birmingham. It is officially an ‘outstanding college’, having received straight grade 1’s in its last Ofsted Inspection Report at the end of 2007. In 2008 Fircroft was awarded Learning and Skills Beacon Status, in recognition of its academic excellence.  

You can choose from over 150 different residential short courses running throughout the year, covering everything from literacy, numeracy and IT skills, to personal and professional development. Being a resident allows you to ‘get away from it all', so you can focus on achieving your goals and work closely with your tutors and fellow students.

A full-time Access to HE programme is available for students who wish to go to University but who do not have the qualifications to do so. We also provide tailored short courses for community groups and voluntary sector workers.

Most of Fircroft College's courses in Birmingham, both Access and residential short courses, are free to eligible students.
