If ever there was a time to learn new skills that could lead to full-time courses, better your job prospects, enhance your existing career or even find a new one, the time is now and FVC’s new range of evening courses – starting from September 2020 – are guaranteed to offer something for everyone.

Applications went live in July, with courses being offered at all campuses in Falkirk, Stirling and Alloa, across four nights, which will help people do more with their evenings and transform their career path, CV, skillset and creative and cultural hobbies.

Post lockdown many people have been inspired to make changes, learn new things and seize the day . . . and the night. Evening classes at FVC could be the ideal answer to help them do all of that.
