Courses for adults - learning for fun, for work, for life.

At West Thames College we have courses for all levels, so whether you are upskilling for your career, or you are complete beginner - join us and start your new chapter with us. If you are in work and want further training and a recognised qualification, talk to us about apprenticeships.
