Are you working in health or social care and looking to upskill and enhance your career prospects, gain valuable technical skills, or retrain for a new profession without the pressure of committing to a full course?
We have the perfect solution: standalone modules that you can study at your own pace – and the best part is, there are no tuition fees to pay. Thanks to the government’s Module Acceleration Programme (MAP), you have the freedom to select individual modules that align with your career goals after completion of the mandatory Module 1. These modules provide you with in-demand technical skills that are highly sought after by employers. Each module you complete earns credits that can be accumulated towards a Higher Technical Qualification (HTQ), giving you a flexible route to a full degree level qualification.
Study modules, not the full course
Our flexible delivery model is ideal if you want to upskill or retrain but need to balance your studies with other commitments, such as work, childcare, or caring responsibilities. Whether you’re looking to advance in your current job or explore a new career path, our modular courses allow you to study in a way that fits your lifestyle. Explore the possibilities today and take the next step towards your future – one module at a time!

College is not just about your course – it’s an opportunity to have fun, meet new people and explore your interests!

And if you have a long-term support need or medical condition, we’ll work with you on personalised learning support to help you achieve your full potential.
