Enrolment
Places on most part-time courses are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and for these courses, your place may only be booked by completing the advance enrolment form and paying the course fee. A separate advance enrolment form must be completed for each course.For those courses with either entry requirements or entry by interview, you will require an unconditional acceptance letter from the Faculty before you can book and pay. For these courses, please complete the full College application form and tick the part-time, day-release or evening option as appropriate. Once you have the acceptance letter, you can complete the advance enrolment form and pay the course fee.
Please see the information and events section for details of information evenings (including advance enrolment and payment) for part-time courses.

Vocational Day / Evening Classes
Most NQ, HNC and HND programmes accept part-time (infill) students, subject to there being sufficient places available. Many of these courses consist of single / double / triple credit units of study that can be studied as separate courses. In some cases, prior study may be required and you would be advised of this at the time of application. A single credit unit lasts about 36 hours, double credit units last 72 hours and triple credit units 108 hours. As most classes are of 3 hours duration, this equates to 12, 24 or 36 weeks of study - usually one morning, afternoon or evening per week.Part-time study on NQ Programmes
Most NQ programmes can be studied on a part-time infill basis, subject to sufficient places being available. Please contact Admissions who will pass your details to the relevant Curriculum Manager to arrange an interview to design an infill / part-time programme for you.Part-time study on Higher National Programmes
Many Higher National Certificate (12 credit) and Higher National Diploma (30 credit) courses can be studied on a part-time basis - day-release, evening, infill - and some offer flexible learning options. Many of the units comprising these courses are free-standing and do not require previous qualifications or prior knowledge and can therefore be undertaken as individual units of study without having to complete the full Higher National Certificate / Diploma course. These part-time study options are offered subject to sufficient places being available.Leisure Classes
Leisure classes are normally of 2 hours duration, although some may last 3 hours. Starting times and start finish dates for these classes will be listed with the course details. Leisure classes are not normally certificated.College Library & Learning Centres
