    Teaching

    How the course is taught

    A January start course can be quite intense. You will study each of the subjects over 6 months. This equates to three full days of teaching. While we try our best to accommodate, this could be split across 4 days Mon-Fri. Classes, all on campus, are engaging and challenging, they will provide you with the opportunity to work both individually and as part of a team.

    Many of our students thrive and continue to do so on the HNC pathway that they have chosen. Some have even gone direct to a degree programme!
