Learning new skills and improving existing ones will be essential as we emerge from lockdown – and Forth Valley College’s new Evening Course provision can help change your working and leisure life for good.
If ever there was a time to learn new skills that could lead to full-time courses, better your job prospects, enhance your existing career or even find a new one, the time is now and FVC’s new range of evening courses - starting from Sept 2020 – are guaranteed to offer something for everyone.
Applications went live on Monday 20 July, with courses being offered at all FVC campuses, across four nights which will help people do more with their evenings and transform their career path, CV, skillset and creative and cultural hobbies.
Lockdown has been very difficult for everyone, but it has also given many people an ideal opportunity for reflection on their lives and the inspiration to make changes, learn new things and seize the day…and the night. Evening classes at FVC could be the ideal answer help them do all of that.
Those interested in higher level study will be attracted to the range of Higher National Certificates (HNCs) – and some Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) - available in areas such as … Administration and Information Technology, Accounting, Business, Childhood Practice, Construction Management and Electrical Engineering, Management and Leadership and Mechanical Engineering.
Other certificated courses available include City and Guilds qualifications in Electrical Installation and a wide variety of Hair and Beauty related subjects and there are also Professional Development Awards available.

The programme also includes Highers in English, Human Biology, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology and Chemistry and National 5 Level Maths.
The vast range of leisure classes available are also expected to generate a lot of interest.
