One Day Masterclasses

What could you learn in a day?

Our masterclasses are an excellent way of delving into a subject – whether it’s new to you, or something you have experience of, there’s plenty to learn.

These classes are all between 3 hours and one day – meaning you can learn something interesting without the time commitment a longer course might entail.

*Fully Funded Courses

Who is eligible?

If you’re looking to improve your skills or gain new qualifications, there may be full funding available depending on your age, current qualifications, and financial situation.

  • GCSE Maths and/or English, if you didn’t get a GCSE grade C (or grade 4) or higher in school
  • Essential Digital Skills courses (up to Level 1), if you don’t already have basic digital skills

If you’re aged 19 to 23, you may qualify to study for free for:

  • A qualification at Level 2 (equivalent to a GCSE), if you don’t already have a Level 2 qualification
  • A qualification at Level 3 (equivalent to an A Level), if you don’t already have a Level 3 qualification

If you’re 24 or older, Entry Level to Level 2 courses can be free if:

  • You’re unemployed
  • You’re on certain income-related benefits
  • Or you earn less than £25,000 a year

Level 3 courses (A Level equivalent) can be fully funded if:
