Part Time Courses at Edinburgh College
Whether you are looking to gain a qualification, improve your employability, or explore a new interest, our part time courses are designed to fit seamlessly into busy schedules. These courses only require you to attend college 1-2 days a week with additional independent learning that can be done at home.
For those aspiring to teach or learn English, the ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) programmes provide teacher training and preparation for IELTS. These courses are ideal for improving your communication skills or becoming an English language instructor.
In Health Professions and Social Services, courses such as Level 4 and 5 Mental Health and Wellbeing or PDA Health and Social Care Supervision equip students with essential knowledge to support and improve lives in their communities.
For professional development, options like IOSH Managing Safely and Women in Data & Digital Innovation focus on safety and digital transformation skills, making them ideal for those aiming to stay ahead in their fields. Additionally, Professional Cookery, Hospitality, Travel and Tourism courses, including the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 1, give learners the opportunity to gain specialist industry knowledge.
The Routes into Education and Employment programmes, such as Introduction to College for Schools Level 1/2, support learners in preparing for further studies or transitioning into meaningful careers.
With flexible scheduling and expert-led instruction, our part time courses give you the opportunity to experience Edinburgh College in a way that fits around your busy schedule.
