Access to Education
Thinking about returning to education? Our Access to Education courses help you build confidence, gain qualifications, and explore your future, whether you're starting fresh or picking up where you left off.
You’ll boost your Maths, English and ICT, work on real projects, and earn SQA and employability awards. Volunteering, tasters, and employer visits will also give you hands-on experience.
Previous students have gone on to study Media, IT, Social Care, Hairdressing, Early Education and more, and you can too!
With friendly support throughout, you’ll be ready for college, work, or whatever comes next.
