Trinity offers helping hand to adult learners
Flexibility is the key to getting adults to achieve their potential at Trinity University College in Carmarthen.
The university offers a number of routes for adults to continue their studies – all of them good examples for Adult Learners’ Week, which runs from May 15-21.
Staff at the newest university in Wales are particularly proud of the work of the School of Early Years Education.
Glenda Tinney, admissions tutor at the School of Early Years Education, said:”We are extremely flexible in the course we are able to offer for a degree in Early Years Education.
“And this makes the course we offer very appealing for adult learners. They can fit in work on the course on evenings or on a Saturday.
“So, remarkably, it makes it possible for someone who is already in employment to gain a degree within three years.
“This makes the course very attractive for people who are already working in nurseries or in schools.
“We find a number of people who have gained a Level 3 qualification such as an NNEB or NVQ who are keen to take up the opportunity to gain a degree.
“Age is no barrier and while we do get candidates aged 23 or 24, we also have students in the middle 30s and 40s. Also, we are keen to encourage men who are engaged in early learning work to join the course. It isn’t a woman-only course.
“The course is a wonderful way for someone already involved in early years education to extend their knowledge and enhance their career prospects.”
For those who don’t want to pursue a degree option, the School of Early Years Education also offers a Level 4 certificate.
Again, the course is flexible and caters for people already in employment in early years education.
The course concentrates on the Foundation phase of education and lasts two years, at the end of which students can decide whether to go further and pursue the degree option.
Lack of A level qualifications are no barrier to study on School of Early Years Education courses.
