The flexibility of part-time courses 

When it comes to continuing education and professional development, adults have a lot of different options to choose from. But for working professionals who want the flexibility to continue their education without sacrificing their income or day-to-day routine, part-time study is often the best option. You can choose when and where you study: With online learning and other technological advances, more and more courses are incorporating hybrid learning. This means you can study at times that work for you, without having to worry about travelling to college or attending classes in person. 

Enhancing your employability skills

If you’re considering advancing your career by attending college, you’re making a wise decision – not only will you gain valuable knowledge and skills, but you’ll also enhance your employability.

College offers a wealth of opportunities to develop important qualities that employers look for, such as teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking. In addition, many colleges including Central Bedfordshire College offer Career Services that can help connect you with job opportunities and assist you with applications and interview preparation.

Learn in a social setting with people like you

For adults, getting on with the people you learn with can be especially important. Learning is easier when we enjoy the company of those we're working with and with part-time courses at Central Bedfordshire College, you’re going to be with like-minded individuals.

Studies have also shown that people are more likely to remember information when they hear it from someone they like. This is because we tend to trust people we like and feel more connected with them.

Learn from experts

For one thing, experts have a lot of knowledge and experience that can help you learn quickly and effectively.
