Are you looking to take up a creative hobby in the new year? Maybe you’re keen to learn a language or take the first step towards an exciting new career? Our evening courses are designed to help you balance learning with your other commitments, making it easier than ever to achieve your goals.

Whether you’re interested in Art and Design, Childhood Practice, or Modern Languages, our wide range of evening classes has something for everyone. Creative minds can explore Art Portfolio Preparation or Introduction to Fashion and Textiles, while those drawn to digital creativity can enjoy Creative Photoshop or Filmmaking for Screen. Creative Sound Engineering also gives music lovers the opportunity to improve your recording, mixing and mastering skills.

If you’re seeking to advance your career, options like our Childhood Practice Access to HNC or SVQ 3 Social Services Children and Young People courses open doors to rewarding roles in childcare. For language enthusiasts, classes in Spanish (beginner and post-beginner levels) and British Sign Language (introduction and level 2) will enhance communication skills and cultural understanding.

Childhood Practice Evening

Technical learners can explore practical options like Python for Data Science or Automotive Maintenance. Courses such as Body Massage or Lash and Brow Aesthetics provide hands-on training for aspiring beauty professionals.

Each course is led by experienced professionals in a supportive and welcoming environment, combining practical knowledge with real-world insights.

Evening classes are perfect for those juggling work or daytime commitments. With many courses requiring just one evening of teaching per week, you can easily fit your studies around your schedule. Whether you’re aiming to upskill for career progression, connect with like-minded individuals, or enjoy a creative outlet, our evening courses can help you achieve your goals.
