Autumn 2022It’s not too late to enrol for an adult course at Hopwood Hall College and University Centre
Lifelong learning is alive and well in the community – and now is your opportunity to secure a place on a course that can change your life forever.
Hopwood Hall College and University Centre will be enrolling adults aged 19+ onto its diverse range of pathways throughout the month of September.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for anyone who wants to upskill, retrain or simply learn something new on a part-time basis. Courses delivered face to face are particularly popular because people can use the excellent facilities and state of the art equipment located at Hopwood’s campuses in Rochdale and Middleton.
Just some of the career-boosting routes about to start include courses that can achieve qualifications in fields such as counselling, culinary skills and barbering.
You can now even gain a coveted Level 3 qualification for FREE* to ensure that you’re perfectly positioned to stand out in the job market.
It’s never been easier to secure your spot on one of these courses, with a number of twilight enrolment sessions being held from 5pm-7pm this month.
You simply need to stop by either campus to complete the process on Thursday 15, 22 or 29 September.
The in-person pathways really have the potential to fast-track you to success in your personal and professional life, but they’re not the only options to choose from.
Instead, there are many amazing routes for people looking to ease themselves back into education after a few years away. You can even enrol online.
This includes flexible learning courses, online qualifications that can earn you a highly desirable Level 2 qualification.
The big benefit of this free option is that you get to choose the time and place to study and have the freedom to fit it around a busy schedule.
In addition, you can also choose to study short online courses that give you access to easily digestible, bitesize information to aid you in standing out in the workplace or simply bring you up-to-date on new skills.
You can choose five of these for free and even use them as a form of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Finally, the taster sessions on offer are ideal for giving you an exciting glimpse of courses before deciding which subject you’d like to pursue in more detail.
