Whatever your circumstances and qualifications may be, HRC’s flexible provision helps you to balance study with work and family commitments through a range of part-time professional courses designed to aid professional development and upgrade skills.
Part-time courses
From Day One, the College’s part-time courses are tailored to help you to achieve your goals, whether you want to make a career change, climb the career ladder or gain the skills to help you land a dream job.

Adult Learners
If you are aged 24 or over and starting a Level 3 course, or higher, on or after the 31st August 2015, you may be entitled to 24+ Advanced Learning Loan to help cover the cost of tuition fees and you won’t have to pay back anything until your annual income exceeds £21,000. It is easy to apply and the process does not take your household income into account or involve a credit check.

Work experience and apprenticeships
All of the study programmes at HRC feature work experience opportunities and enterprise projects. The College has established links with local employers and works with them to ensure learners leave College with the right skills and experience.
And the strong relationship between the College and local business also means that HRC is well placed as a provider of Apprenticeships with a range of companies across the region.
Apprenticeships are an increasingly popular route as they combine paid jobs with paid training and an average of 25 people per month secure Apprenticeships through HRC.

Advice and Information Day
Hunts Regional College will hold an Advice and Information Day on Saturday 22nd August, 10:00am and 2:00pm, allowing individuals to discuss their options with curriculum and Learner Services staff, and to enrol as part-time learners, adult learners or Apprentices. Following the release of GCSE results, school leavers are also welcome to come along find out more about studying at HRC.
A wealth of information about enrichment, finance and Learner Services will be available, giving further details about the learner experience at the College.
The event is also an invitation to explore the facilities at HRC both inside and outside the learning environments.
These include a Vitality Hair & Beauty Salon, Learning Resource Centre, Refectory and Starbucks Café, Gym, Teddy Bear Nursery and a recently renovated Creative Industries Centre which includes a new photographic studio.
Full-time students aged 16-18 years will also be able to find out about our free College bus service across Huntingdonshire, enabling learners to save up to £450 a year, plus half-price driving lessons offered with RED Driving School.
