Whether you have been attending courses at Aquinas College or it is your first time, you are all very welcome. We have a fantastic range of courses available and a state-of-the-art building in which to study. We provide courses for the local community and share our college and ethos with our adult learners. The college mission is at the heart of our provision and we pride ourselves on delivering a variety of courses delivered by enthusiastic and passionate teachers. Our learners return year-on-year and it is an inspiring place to learn a skill, achieve a qualification and make new friends.
We offer a variety of academic courses including AAT, GCSEs, Functional Skills and the Access to Higher Education course. This includes education and training for adults who want to upskill, improve their employment chances and/or move into higher education. We have a unique selling point in that our courses run in the evening so that people can fit their studies around employment or family commitments. Beginning a course after a long period of time away from education can be very daunting but our friendly staff make the process much less stressful.
Becoming an Aquinas student is much more than simply choosing your next educational establishment or furthering your steps into a chosen career. It is becoming a member of our wider community and, as with most things in life, the more you put in the more you get out. Please use our website, together with our prospectus, to find out more about adult education at Aquinas.
