Adult Guidance and Careers

Are you an adult looking to return to study? Do you need help in choosing your course? We welcome adult students on all courses. If you haven't made up your mind yet, why not take the first step and come along for an informal chat with one of our advisors?

We can help you find the best programme to suit your needs and also give you details about services available at the College. We can also refer you to subject specialists within College if you need further advice and guidance.

The service is offered on an appointment basis, mainly at Parson's Walk, Wigan and Sixth Form College on Sale Way, Leigh. Interviews at other College sites are by appointment. Group discussions can also be arranged, either in College or in the community. We also welcome drop-in callers.
