2012-2013 Part Time & Evening Courses

Many adults enjoy learning a new skill in their spare time. Others would like to gain a qualification to help them further their career. Evening and part-time courses at Bexhill College offer the opportunity to do both.

The programme offers professional qualifications such as certificates and diplomas in Health and Social Care or Children and Young People's Workforce, and GCSE's, as well as a wide range of recreational courses which range from Reiki to painting, astronomy to cooking, IT to alternative therapies. We hope there is something to interest everyone.
