Full time study programmes

Full-time courses at our college are designed primarily for school leavers aged 16-18 and are fully funded. These programs typically last between 1-2 years and provide a comprehensive education pathway for young learners to develop their skills and knowledge in their chosen field. While these programs are targeted at younger students, learners aged 19+ can also enroll in full-time courses, although they may be required to pay fees unless they qualify for specific funding opportunities.
