Short and Part-time Courses for Adult Learners
As well as our comprehensive range of full time courses, Kingston College also offers a variety of short courses aimed at adult learners who want to increase their career opportunities or simply broaden their knowledge in a particular subject - or even take that first step into a new area that has always interested them.
Whatever your reasons, please take a look at the courses listed below. There are start dates throughout the year and at times to suit you - we offer part time courses that are, for example, one evening a week for a few weeks, or maybe longer for professional qualifications, in addition to Saturday workshops.
