Education Feature: The Institute - Something for you
Published: 8 September, 2011
THE children are back at school, the summer holidays already seem a distant memory and at last it’s time to do something for yourself – like that course you’ve been promising.
You don’t have to trek into the centre of town or spend a fortune to find what you are looking for either. If you are interested in enrolling in a new course this autumn, you need look no further than The Institute next to East Finchley tube station.
September sees the start of the new academic year: funded courses start Monday 12th September and all other courses from Monday 19th September. So why not get hold of the new prospectus or check out the website www.hgsi.ac.uk right away and have a browse through to find the course which you are looking for?
When choosing what to study, people often make a distinction between accredited courses leading to a recognised qualification and leisure courses which people take just “for fun”.
But has it ever occurred to you that it could be the course which you take just for the fun of it which could set you on a new career path?
At The Institute there are many courses, taught by gifted professional teachers, which provide students with a new craft or skill which they can then go on to develop into a career or business.
If your English, Math or Computer skills are holding you back, the range of day and evening classes could be your first confidence-boosting step on the road back to work.
Also on offer are ESOL classes at all levels.
A pre-course assessment will help you find out which is the right class for you.
Among the more than 500 courses on offer from September 2011 are some exciting new courses.
These are a mixture of accredited courses leading to a qualification – like the new part-time Foundation Degree in Fashion Textiles – and leisure courses which you can take purely for your own satisfaction.
At this time of year there is an added incentive too: if you enrol for all thee terms of a full three-term course this month, you will receive a discount of 15 per cent on the cost of your course (subject to terms and conditions).
So there really is no reason to delay: visit the The Institute website at www.hgsi.ac.uk or telephone on 0845 871 4141 – and enrol today.
