Improve your mental health and well-being, build you confidence and develop new skills with a Bury College adult course starting this New Year.
From January 2021, the College is offering a wide range of courses in a variety of sectors including Business and Accounting, English, Maths and Digital Skills and Health and Care. Specifically designed to provide adults with the opportunity to gain new skills, knowledge and experience, these new courses are available in a range of areas and at different levels.
