This offers the ideal spot for students to focus on their studies with like-minded peers and receive exceptional support throughout.

Northern College also offer some digital courses free to all adults, regardless of income, alongside English and Maths. A residential stay for these courses includes bed, breakfast and evening meal.

There are many courses and subjects available, and Northern College are open to conversations to meet the needs of groups and organisations. Subjects include but are not limited to outdoor courses in Forest Skills, English, Digital, Maths, Team Leadership, Volunteering, Peer Mentoring, Substance Misuse, First Aid, Enterprise Skills and Counselling.

Northern College are also able to offer three-hour taster courses on your own premises should this be more appropriate. These courses can be negotiated on a bespoke level ensuring that the needs of your group are met. See their website for ideas and examples of delivery: www.northern.ac.uk

Many of Northern College's students describe their period of short intensive study as life changing, as students progress onto higher level courses and work.
