Wellbeing courses can be useful to everyone. Our ‘Work/Life Balance’ course will support you to look at ways to manage your busy lifestyle along with ensuring that you have time for yourself.
Through the Work/Life Balance course, you will build confidence in speaking and listening as well as recognising that making small changes will ensure that you can remain motivated and healthy. You will learn to keep your priorities while still managing a busy life.
Our Work/Life Balance course supports you to make friends and communicate in informal situations. It will also help you to recognise how to embrace change and remain in control.


This course is for anyone who was aged 19 or over on 31.8.24 whose first language is not English.

An attendance certificate to show your commitment to skills building
Throughout your time learning with us, you will also have developed a whole range of skills that can be transferred from your course to a working environment, your home life or your own personal development.
Time Management
Juggling work, family, friends, deadlines and research, as a part-time learner time management is a huge skill.
Organisation
Organisation skills are essential for part-time learners. Prove that you can handle the pressure of working and learning and you’ll get ahead in any career.
Research
If you know how to find accurate and reliable sources of information to use in projects and reports, you’ll quickly become an irreplaceable team member.
Networking
Networking skills developed through study group discussions can help to make a workplace meeting run smoothly, build client relationships and improve colleague and office relations.

Presenting Ideas
In most jobs, presentations or reports are required. If you’re already a pro at putting ideas into an easily digestible format (like an assignment) then you’re already half-way there
Reasoning
One skill you’ll naturally develop whatever subject you’re studying is reasoning. Whether you’re evaluating a resource or researching a topic, the ability to weigh up the pros and cons of a project are invaluable.
Decision Making
You might not realise it, but every assignment is the product of hundreds of small decisions, e.g. your choice of words, argument, resources etc. It’s easy to apply this skill to workplace decisions.
Persuasion
You don’t have to pursue a career in sales or business to need persuasion skills. As a learner you’ll naturally develop them as you build your case in essays and discussions.
Overcoming Obstacles
There’s not a learner out there that hasn’t encountered an obstacle, be it a bad grade or confusion around a subject. The skills you develop as you tackle this are invaluable.

Other courses related to health or personal/ professional development. This could be an exam based reading writing or speaking and listening course, an English or maths qualification, IT, employability or a course leading to work.
