If you want to study at degree level but feel unsure about the qualifications you need to get there, you are already in the right place.
Taking the decision to study for a degree is incredibly exciting, but it is completely normal to feel unsure about the exact entry requirements. Our partners at Lancashire Adult Learning (LAL), work with us to provide a welcoming, pressure-free environment to help you figure out your starting point.
You are already on the right path and we are here to provide all the stepping stones.
For foundational abilities, like English, Maths and Essential Digital Skills we have a wide range of flexible ways you can get the tools you need to move forward.
These friendly classes fit comfortably around your work, family and life commitments.
By mastering these basics, you lay a solid foundation for advanced study, proving to yourself that you are fully capable of academic success.
Once you have your foundational qualifications, you can seamlessly progress onto our Level 3 courses. These include Access to Higher Education diplomas and specialist professional pathways designed specifically for adult learners.

From your very first day brushing up on your everyday skills to the moment you complete your final Level 3 assignment, our dedicated team will guide you. We focus entirely on your potential and growth, ensuring you have the confidence, knowledge and momentum to step proudly into your degree.
