Evening and Part Time Learning at Bexhill CollegeMany adults enjoy attending an adult learning class in their spare

time. Some want to learn a new skill, whilst others would like to gain

a qualification to help them further their career. Evening and part-

time courses at Bexhill College offer the opportunity to do both.

The College offers professional qualifications such as certificates

and diplomas in Health and Social Care or early years care and

education, and GCSE’s, as well as a wide range of recreational courses

which range from Reiki to painting, astronomy to cooking, languages to

I.T. We hope there is something to interest everyone.

All adults are encouraged to achieve qualifications to at least

level 3 if they haven’t done so already. For adults between 19 and

23, where they are attempting a level 1, 2 or 3 course for the

first time, there are no course fees – subject to the course being

Government funded. Please ask for details as this fee remission may

be the opportunity you need to improve your qualifications and your

future employment prospects.

Some adults may need to pass GCSE English or Maths; or develop their

basic skills to improve employment prospects. Some adults would like

to gain A Levels or BTEC National Diplomas and there is the opportunity

to study alongside our daytime students, if this is your goal.

If you just want to learn or develop new skills for fun, our

recreational courses offer the opportunity to do this, and make new

friends.

Most courses are held at the main College site in Penland Road where

there is plenty of onsite parking, and some are offered at the Adult

Learning Centre, Jameson Mews, near Bexhill Station along with many

courses for adult students with learning difficulties and disabilities.

For further information contact the Adult Education Administrator at

Jameson Mews on 01424 215746 ext 208.

I hope there will be something to interest you in September 2014.

Why Choose Bexhill CollegeYou may want to improve your career prospects, develop

new skills and knowledge or perhaps change direction

altogether. Whatever your reasons for studying, Bexhill

College can help you reach your goals.

We believe that the combination of our excellent tutors,

easy parking, safe location and up-to-date facilities makes

Parking Facilities

The main College site has a large, secure, well lit and free

car park within the grounds so you don’t have to worry

about allowing extra time to find parking and then walking

to the College - this is an important consideration for us

especially when it comes to evening classes during the dark

winter months.
