FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Am I too old? 
Absolutely not! For our adult courses you must be age 19+…most of our adult learners are in their 30/40’s with some in their 20’s and others in their 50’s, and sometimes even 60’s! You are never too old to learn 🎓

Will I be in the classes with the age 16-19 learners
No. All our adult classes are ran on their own, so you won’t be with the 16-19 groups

How many are in a class?
Typically only 6 adult learners per class, maximum 8! This ensures you have plenty of support from your tutor in smaller group sizes at all times 

How many days a week do I attend? 
Adult classes are 1 day per week, and typically within school hours 

Did you know most adult learners come along to an IAG/enrolment session and soon realise they are suddenly with like minded people, who all have the same questions, worried about the same things but by the end of the course end up making a really good group of friends too…and actually there was nothing to worry about at all!
