New courses to fit around your work and family commitments
Walsall College has partnered with edtech company, Mindful Education to offer part-time blended learning courses to help adult learners fit their studies more flexibly around their lives.
The blended learning courses combine the advantages of online and classroom-based study. They encourage more adults can return to education and training without compromising their work or family commitments.
The award-winning courses available to study include accounting, management, business administration, law and human resources.
Claudette St-Prix, Curriculum Delivery Manager at the College said: “The blended learning format provided by these courses suits a lot of people working in or aspiring to work in professional services.
“Learner can choose how, when and where they want to study, receiving guidance and encouragement throughout.”
Engaging and accessible, Mindful Education’s courses are developed by their in-house academic, creative and digital teams. A combination of video lectures and motion graphics bring learning to life, making the next online sessions something to look forward to.
Online lessons can be viewed on mobile, tablet or desktop, while regular on campus sessions with a college tutor provide an invaluable opportunity for peer-to-peer support and collaborative learning.
For adult learners in England, there are various funding options available for professional courses. For Level 2 courses, the college offers funding through the Adult Education Budget. This means the government will provide part of the course fee, reducing the amount you pay. Depending on where you live and your personal circumstances, the course may even be free.
Learners interested in a Level 3 course might also be eligible for Free Courses for Jobs funding. Courses may also qualify for funding via the Adult Education Budget, or through an Advanced Learner Loan.
