MAKE IT HAPPEN 

IN 2019 

January is a time where people are making decisions about the year ahead – whether it’s a change of career, 

a new house or car or a new haircut, the first month of the year, is often about planning how to be a new and 

improved you. 

We know that a lot of adults find studying later in life to be more rewarding and with that in mind, we would like 

to welcome you to the January 2019 edition of our adult course guide. 

In it you will find a mix of professional qualification courses including AAT (Accounting) and CIM (Marketing); 

leisure courses such as Ceramics or Cookery and community based courses including English, maths and ESOL. 

Whatever your ambitions, we will have something to help you achieve your goals, whether that’s a new job, a 

change of career, general self-improvement, or even exploring an interest. 

We encourage prospective students to visit us at our open days where you will be able to speak to tutors and 

view the learning environment for yourself (see page 26 for details) – Go on, make it happen in 2019 with 

Kirklees College!

MAKE 2019 YOUR YEAR 

INVEST IN YOURSELF WITH A 19+ LEARNER LOAN 

One question tends to loom over learners before they 

make a decision to re-enter education and typically it’s 

whether they can afford to do a course, due to other 

financial commitments. 

With a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan, you can now take 

the immediate financial burden away. We encourage 

learners to invest in themselves and an education will 

help your value appreciate, where as with most other 

purchasing decisions, the opposite is true. 

If you see a course with this icon it means it 

qualifies for the Advanced Learner Loan. 

Loan eligibility doesn’t depend on your income and 

there are no credit checks. However, whether you 

qualify for an Advanced Learner Loan or not will 

depend on your: 

• Course 

• Age 

• Nationality or residency status 

You pay back your loan (plus interest) when you finish 

your course and earn more than £25,000 a year. Your 

repayments will stop if your income drops below 

£25,000 a year. If you progress into Higher Education, 

you DO NOT need to repay the loan. 

To find out more, please contact 

our financial support team: 

email finsupp@kirkleescollege.ac.uk 

or call (freephone) 0800 804 6134.

Huddersfield and Dewsbury Centres 

ESOL, ENGLISH AND MATHS 

ESOL (English for Speakers 

of Other Languages) 

If English is not your first language and you need 

to improve your speaking and listening, reading or 

writing skills, these classes will help your day to day 

communication and at work. ESOL classes may be 

free depending on your circumstances - they are 

free if you earn less than £15,736.50. 

You will have an assessment to determine your 

current level before you start classes. 

English and Maths 

Improving your English or maths skills can help you 

in everyday life and at work. If you want to get a 

new job, promotion at work or progress to a higher 

level of study, then improving your English or 

maths is a great start. 

Before you start a class you will have an assessment 

to determine your current level. 

Classes start at different times throughout the year. 

We offer a variety of English and maths classes in 

the community, but we only offer GCSE level in the 

main college centres. 

To book an assessment for a college based ESOL, Maths or English course, 

please call Huddersfield 01484 437070 or Dewsbury 01924 465916 Ext 2346

WHY STUDY AT 

KIRKLEES COLLEGE? 

LEARNING NEW SKILLS - FOR LIFE AND WORK! 

SERENA STUDIED: FIRST AID FOR PETS 

Serena studied BTEC Dog Grooming at Kirklees College, 

but chose to also do the one-day First Aid for Pets course 

for her personal knowledge as well as learning a new skill to 

complement her career training. 

“I thought it would be good to have first aid knowledge 

being around dogs so much, as you never know when it 

might be needed. I also have a cat and dog of my own. I 

really enjoyed the course. It was very well structured and 

the tutor made the day interactive and 

enjoyable, with her vast knowledge and 

stories of animal rescues. I thought it 

was well-paced and there was plenty of 

opportunity to ask questions. 

“The teaching room was large and bright and the 

environment relaxed and friendly. All in all, it’s one of the 

best one day courses I have attended in years!” 

TRAIN FOR A NEW CAREER AROUND WORK AND FAMILY 

NEVILLE STUDIED: COOKERY LEVEL 1 

Neville had worked in sales for 20 years but opened his own 

business after completing cookery qualifications at Kirklees 

College. The dad-of-3 is now realising his dreams through 

running Café Novo in Dewsbury town centre. 

Neville said: “I enjoyed cooking for friends and family and 

always had the dream of opening my own restaurant. 

“I did the course at Kirklees College, because I wanted 

to increase my cookery skills, but also 

know all about the background things – 

food standards, kitchen regulations and 

hospitality, all the extra things you need 

to run your own business.” 

“It covered everything. The teaching staff at college, were 

amazing. I am really grateful for all the help they have given 

me!” 

GET A HIGHER LEVEL QUALIFICATION 

MARK STUDIED: TEACHING QUALIFICATION 

After achieving his Level 5 qualification with Kirklees 

College, Mark started his own company Jigby Training 

Solutions - developing and delivering courses within the 

health and social care sector, supporting staff working with 

people with challenging behaviour, first aid courses and 

bespoke courses. 

“I really enjoyed the course, it was great learning about 

other people’s experiences as there was 

a broad range of teaching roles among 

the students on it. 

“I’m earning more now I have the 

qualification and it has given me extra skills that I think 

put me ahead of other training providers in terms of the 

experience I can offer.” 

BUILDING ON EXISTING SKILLS FOR WORK 

DEVINDER STUDIED: CUSTOMER SERVICES LEVEL 2 

Devinder has been working at Kirklees College for over 20 

years in various roles, but it was her progression into the role 

as Customer Services Administrator that gave her the drive 

to want to further her skills through the Customer Services 

Level 2 qualification. 

As one of the first faces that people see at Kirklees 

College, Devinder knew how important it was to be able 

to communicate with a wide range of people from different 

nationalities and cultures and the course really helped. 

“I’m a real people person and love working with a diverse 

range of people. This role is so fast paced 

and challenging and the course really 

helped me improve my communication 

skills to enable me to strengthen my 

relationships and interactions with 

students and colleagues.” 

“The course gave me great freedom to input my ideas and 

opinions and it really challenges you to want to do and 

achieve more. I really feel that I have gained a great deal of 

confidence to be the best and do the job to the best of my 

ability and this course has been the driving force behind it.”

KIRKLEES COLLEGE HAS RANKED ALONGSIDE SOME OF THE COUNTRY’S TOP 

UNIVERSITIES WHEN IT COMES TO HIGHER EDUCATION TEACHING PROVISION. 

The college was awarded silver in the Government’s

over one year full time or two years part time. On

a Higher National Diploma (HND), or if you want to do 

a degree, you may be able to go to university and join 

the course part-way through. 

Many of our tutors combine teaching with their own 

freelance careers and professional practice, helping 

students make the link between the classroom and the 

workplace. 

We are justifiably proud of the successes of our 

students, both in terms of their academic success and 

also achieving their ultimate goal, whether that is 

promotion, a change of career or further progression in

APPRENTICESHIPS 

Kirklees College is TENTH IN ENGLAND 

and FIRST IN WEST YORKSHIRE for 

Apprenticeships. 

This year we were delighted to be placed in the top 10 in 

England in the Government National Achievement Rates 

Table for Apprenticeship completions for 16-18 year olds. 

We train approximately 2,000 apprentices over 30 

occupational areas. 

Our apprentices are employed at over 1,000 companies 

throughout Kirklees and surrounding areas. 

Apprentices learn the right skills that employers want, 

gain great work experience and earn a wage. Higher level 

Apprenticeships can be a great alternative to university, but 

without the debt. 

Whether you are looking to study an Apprenticeship or you 

are an employer looking to take on an apprentice, you can
