Community & Social Action

HomeCoursesCommunity & Social Action

If you want to improve your community and support those in your local area these courses are a great place to start.

You may already be part of a community group or a volunteer and want to develop your skills with an accredited course or have had some time out of work and education – our Student Support Team will create a pathway just for you to achieve your ambitions.

I would recommend  Northern College to anyone looking to develop a long term academic career in a safe and healthy environment with loads of inspiration and caring staff to work with.

“I am enjoying being back in education - learning, meeting awsome people and getting my confidence back.” - Craig

I would recommend  Northern College to anyone looking to develop a long term academic career in a safe and healthy environment with loads of inspiration and caring staff to work with.  

I was made to feel that I did matter and that I was worthy. I was encouraged and supported when I thought I couldn't do it. Despite all the failures I had previously had at other places, I did it at Northern College because I was supported by people who believed in me.

Awesome tutors and a very friendly place. I wish I was still there. 

Great tutors and services. They will listen to you if you have any issues or questions, and will do their best to help you. It’s a relaxing atmosphere and stunning views of Wentworth castle. Love this place.
