Welcome to our summer term 2024 course offer

Enrol onto a course to improve your wellbeing, bring out your creative talents or enhance your personal and professional development. There are courses in English and maths available, and we offer a range of vocational courses and qualifications from Entry Level to Level 3.

Our courses are now mainly onsite at the Thomas Calton Centre, Alpha Street, SE15 4NX, with a small proportion of courses available online.

Please enrol online by completing our enrolment form where possible. You can also visit the Thomas Calton Centre Monday to Friday 9.30am to 4pm.

Fashion, textiles and crafts

Learning to sew or to develop craft skills can open up a completely new world of opportunities.

Scissors and measuring tape

Sewing is a versatile skill, as it's challenging, therapeutic and useful all at the same time. Sew for yourself, for children or your home or sew for others. Keep it as a hobby or branch out into a new career or education path.

We have a range of courses to suit all abilities and levels of experience, from absolute beginners to those wanting to develop their sewing techniques. We will support you in making a range of items from bags and cushion covers to clothes and in repairing and re-styling existing garments to give them new life.

Our £5 materials fee for these courses covers sundry items used in the first few weeks of your course. For your subsequent projects, you will need to provide your fabric, threads and other relevant materials.
