Programme managerJane Suttonjane.sutton@lbhf.gov.uk This exciting programme is open to everyone, whatever your level, and includes accredited and non accredited courses. We offer a professional environment whether you are a complete beginner or working towards a trade qualification. Some courses are very popular, so if you are planning on continuing for more than one term, we strongly recommend enrolling for the following term’s course, or re-enrolling as soon as possible. This is particularly important for students working on a project. It may be possible to pay course fees by regular installments throughout your course, instead of paying the full amount at the start. Please ask about installment plans when you enrol. Further education/qualification classes Courses leading to a qualification will require an interview before you can enrol. Concessions To help pay for course fees and materials, it may be possible to apply for the Learner Support Fund. |
Equipment Health and safety Storing work End of year shows It is possible to start most courses in September, January and April. If you choose to study for more than one term your tutor will help you develop your skills throughout the year by setting new targets through your own individual learning plan. |
