An Adult Learning Enrolment Event will be held at Nelson and Colne College on Thursday 10 January from 5pm until 7pm where members of the community in East Lancashire can sign up to turn their goals for the New Year into a reality.

New for January 2019 at Nelson and Colne College’s University Centre is the Foundation Degree in Paralegal Services, developed to provide career progression routes for legal secretaries and anyone who is in a clerk based position with a legal element to their role, or to those looking at starting a career in the legal sector.
The two-year, full time course requires one day a week studying at the University Centre, combined with one day a week in a work placement, or employment in the sector. Study groups are also small in size to allow delivery of high quality, personal one to one support and completing it provides a stepping stone to a one-year top-up Honours Degree with the University of Cumbria for those students looking at a future as a solicitor.
January starts are also available for the BEng top-up Honours Degree, one of the most industry-relevant Engineering qualifications of its kind. The course has been created with extensive consultation with a number of leading local engineering companies and it is designed around challenging students to think on their feet to develop advanced problem-solving skills to overcome issues that they could very realistically face working in a demanding engineering environment.
