Flexible programmes for adult learners

Introducing Adult Skills with City & Guilds

City & Guilds provides a wide range of qualifications (Awards, Certificates and Diplomas), from entry level to level 3, which are funded by the Adult Skills Fund (ASF), level 3 Free Courses for Jobs funding, or the 19+ Advanced Learner Loans opportunity.

Our Adult Skills courses are a great stepping-stone to gain relevant skills in the changing workplace. We’ve worked with employers and local authorities to ensure our programmes are both flexible and fit for purpose, giving learners skills they need to succeed in their careers and lives.

Shipley College is delivering City & Guilds Customer Service qualifications to adults who face barriers to work and want to get back into work or enhance their knowledge while in employment.
