Evening and Part Time Learning at Bexhill CollegeMany adults enjoy attending an adult learning class in their spare
time. Some want to learn a new skill, whilst others would like to gain
a qualification to help them further their career. Evening and part-
time courses at Bexhill College offer the opportunity to do both.
The College offers professional qualifications such as certificates
and diplomas in Health and Social Care or early years care and
education, and GCSE’s, as well as a wide range of recreational courses
which range from Reiki to painting, astronomy to cooking, languages to
I.T. We hope there is something to interest everyone.
All adults are encouraged to achieve qualifications to at least
level 3 if they haven’t done so already. For adults between 19 and
23, where they are attempting a level 1, 2 or 3 course for the
first time, there are no course fees – subject to the course being
Government funded. Please ask for details as this fee remission may
be the opportunity you need to improve your qualifications and your
future employment prospects.
Some adults may need to pass GCSE English or Maths; or develop their
basic skills to improve employment prospects. Some adults would like
to gain A Levels or BTEC National Diplomas and there is the opportunity
to study alongside our daytime students, if this is your goal.
If you just want to learn or develop new skills for fun, our
recreational courses offer the opportunity to do this, and make new
friends.
Most courses are held at the main College site in Penland Road where
there is plenty of onsite parking, and some are offered at the Adult
Learning Centre, Jameson Mews, near Bexhill Station along with many
courses for adult students with learning difficulties and disabilities.
For further information contact the Adult Education Administrator at
Jameson Mews on 01424 215746 ext 208.
I hope there will be something to interest you in September 2014.
Welcome...
