As the largest education provider in East Sussex, you won’t be surprised to read that we absolutely love learning. We know how meaningful, rewarding, and exciting it is - and we want to share that with you in the new year!
We all had plans for 2020, but sadly they were put on hold. But 2021 is the year to unpause, get back out there, and do something that makes you feel good. This is your chance to turn that ‘might do’ into a ‘will do’.
Our part-time courses, starting in January, are the perfect way for you to wave goodbye to 2020, and get ready to start an awesome learning journey. And if you need a few more reasons to come and study, here are our 21 reasons why you should make 2021 the year you love to learn.
Learning is so much fun. The challenge of mastering a new skill keeps you coming back for more. The more you get stuck in, the more you enjoy it, the bigger the reward.
Starting one of our part-time courses gives you the opportunity to meet a whole range of new people. Whether it’s face-to-face or online, you’ll be studying with likeminded people and be able to build new friendships.
This is your chance to learn some new skills, and put them to good use! We’ve got the perfect courses if you’re thinking about starting some home improvements - meaning you really will be able to do it yourself.
Learning is good for the brain - it’s like exercise for the mind! Not only will you keep your brain cells in tip-top condition, you’ll feel great for it and give your mental wellbeing a boost!
Studying a part-time course with us will give you a confidence boost. You might achieve something you never thought possible, you may gain a qualification to unlock new career opportunities, or you may be taking a step out of your comfort zone.
Our part-time courses are set up to fit around your other commitments. You can study in the morning to fit around the school run, or you can study in the evening to fit around work.
Once you start learning, it is very hard to stop. One of the best things about learning with us is that you may start a novice, but you’ll soon be motivated to become a master!
Whether you have ambitions to gain a promotion or you fancy a new challenge, studying with us can provide you with those key qualifications you were missing.
Do you make enough time for yourself? It isn’t selfish. It’s actually really good for your overall wellbeing. Taking time to invest in yourself is great for your self-esteem.
Each year, we work hard to increase the range and quality of our part-time courses. Whether you’re 19 or 90, looking for a new qualification, or just doing it for fun, we’ve got something for you.
Our part-time courses can be the perfect way to add qualifications to your CV. Not only could they impress potential employers, but they could also impress your current employer as you look to make that step up the career ladder.
Our campuses are ideally situated to make learning easy and accessible. Our campuses in Eastbourne, Hastings, and Lewes are close to train stations, bus stations, and offer on-site parking.
One of our courses could be the encouragement you need to start your own business. Part-time study gives you the chance to gain all the knowledge and skills you need while you launch your new venture.
They say that variety is the spice of life. Trying something new is a great way to break a routine. We've got plenty of things to try - who knows where they'll take you.
We’re really lucky to have such a talented teaching team. They have years of industry experience and are experts in their field - and can’t wait to help you achieve your goals.
Starting a new course that runs weekly gives you something to look forward to. Having something to focus on is a great way to improve happiness.
How good does it feel when you complete something? Completing one of our courses is exactly the same. You might achieve a qualification, take home a piece of art, or have new skills to show off - whatever it is; it will make you proud.
Education is an investment. Whether you’re studying for fun or you’re aiming for a new career, when you study with us, we’ll help set you up for the future.
Our courses are great value for money. Depending on your circumstances, you might be eligible for financial help towards the cost of transport, or even an advanced learner loan to help cover the cost of your course.
We’ve been busy making our campuses clean and safe for you to study in. We have installed one way systems and sanitising stations, and reduced class sizes to make sure social distancing is in place.
Our students love studying with us. So why not make 2021 the year you study with us too.
