Our courses are funded mostly by the West Midlands Combined Authority this year (2021/2022) and are therefore for people over the age of 19 living in the West Midlands county which includes Birmingham, the Black Country areas including Wolverhampton, Sandwell, Dudley, Walsall - and Solihull and Coventry.
People who live in other areas of England may be eligible to apply for our courses but this is not guaranteed - please contact our Admissions team on 0121 472 0116 or email [email protected] for all enquiries about our courses.
Our residential short courses run for 3 days, 2 nights. Usually, students are expected to arrive at the college at 3:30pm for lessons later that evening. Students then attend a full day the next day and classes usually end by 3.00pm the last day of their course.
Please note that although we do our very best not to change dates and other details about our courses, they may sometimes be subject to change. If we do need to make any changes to our courses we will ensure they are communicated on our website and to students as soon as possible.
For course enquiries or support with applying for a course email [email protected] or telephone 0121 472 0116.
