If booking a place on a course for an employee you can choose to book online or through completing an Employer Booking Form (EBF)
View the online guide in the Courses section and then go to the dedicated course web pages for course content and booking options.
If a course is available to book online the option book ‘For your employee(s)’ will appear. This will then take you through to either sign in as an employer, or register for an employer account.
If this option does not appear you will be asked to contact the Student Advice Centre as pre- entry guidance may be required prior to proceeding with your application.
“To advance my career I had the choice of a PDA or to go down the degree route and I knew from the outset that my learning style was better suited to the PDA option.”
“I’ve been so surprised by the meditative qualities of working with wood and it’s such an antidote to digital life.”
“The evening class was a revelation. I never dreamt of a different career path but I just got completely hooked!”
“Anyone can do the course – it’s great for anyone who wants to learn something new for themselves.”
“As a mature student and a home owner I have been able to work and learn at the same time – if I had returned to full time education then I would have struggled financially. I came away from school with few qualifications and didn’t think that I would go back into education. I always wanted to, but never really had the confidence. This has shown me that I have a huge potential for learning and it’s given me more interest to pick up learning again in the future.”
