Any Questions?

Can Anyone Apply for these Courses?

Yes, as long as you are aged 19 or over on August 31st 2020.

Is there a Deadline for Applying?

Courses start in September, so please apply in good time. Many courses are oversubscribed, so please apply early to be assured of a place.

I have been out of Education for a while. Does this Matter?

No! We welcome people of all ages and from all walks of life. Some of our students are in work looking to get a professional qualification, some are not yet in work and are looking to get employment skills, whilst some simply want a new qualification in an exciting area.

What is the Difference between FE and HE?

Further education (FE) is any education after secondary school, but not university education. Higher education (HE) refers to education at university, including under and postgraduate degrees.

Can I get Help with Fees?

You absolutely may be able to get help depending on your circumstances.

Please see www.runshaw.ac.uk/financial for more information.

What is a Skills Assessment?

This is a simple on-line assessment for our GCSE & pre GCSE Functional Skills courses to ensure you are on the correct course.

Are there Evening Classes?

There is the option to attend evening classes for many of our courses. Please check the course information details on the website.

Is there a Course to Prepare me for University?

Yes, our Access courses are a nationally recognised route to university, if you currently lack the right qualifications. Access courses take one year, typically over 2 days a week.

Do you have Disabled Access?

We certainly do, we are fully disability compliant.

Can I Meet the Tutors?

Our open events are the perfect opportunity to speak with the tutors from all the courses. Please see our website for updates on open events.

Is there Parking?

Parking is free all day at our Chorley Campus and our Leyland Campus in the evening.

Please go to www.runshaw.ac.uk for more information.
