How to enrol

Pre-enrolment discussion/skills-check

Before enrolling onto some of our courses, for example Childcare, ICT, ESOL, English and Maths, you will need to talk to a tutor or undertake a skills-check. Once you have attended a pre-enrolment discussion or skills-check you will be able to enrol onto the right course for you.

We strongly recommend you discuss your needs before committing yourself to a substantial programme of learning.
