Individual learners can study either of the subjects on a flexible learning mode. This means that you can choose a time that fits in with your lifestyle, and you can work at your own pace.
Teaching is geared towards the individual needs of the learner. You will compile your own individual learning plan, with your own goals and aspirations.
Our learners come from a wide variety of backgrounds, with ages ranging from teens to eighties, some with qualifications, many with none.
Many of our learners are disabled, but we provide all kinds of support for learners with a physical disability, dyslexia, or mobility difficulties. The Core Skills Centre is fully accessible by wheelchair-users.
Basically, we can help everyone to learn new skills.
Where is it?

The Abercorn Building is right next to the main college building on Renfrew Road.
You are most welcome to come and visit us at the Centre to see for yourself how friendly, relaxed and informal it is.
