Quest for Learning in 2008

2008 sees the return of our highly popular Quest courses, with more elearning than ever, more flexible opportunities and a new flower arranging course in partnership with Clydebank College.

To make booking onto a Quest course even simpler, we are pleased to announce the Quest term dates for 2008. There will be three starting dates for all Quest courses during 2008, which are as follows:

 

  • Term 1: Week Commencing Monday 14th January 2008 COURSES FULL
  • Term 2: Week Commencing Monday 7th July 2008
  • Term 3: Week Commencing Monday 15th September 2008

 

Remember, that all courses are filled on a first-come-first-served basis, and we don't keep names on a waiting list for the next term - so if you are unsuccessful you will need to re-apply.

 

January 2008 Courses - ALL JANUARY COURSES ARE FULLY BOOKED
