Mindfulness offers an opportunity to deal more effectively with the stress of everyday life and derive more satisfaction and enjoyment from life’s pleasure. As we are freed from negative patterns of thought about ourselves, we can begin to live our lives to the full.

In order to avoid disappointment, it is advisable to enrol at least 2½ weeks prior to the course starting. We will confirm course information two weeks prior to the start date.

Who is this course for?
Anyone with a keen interest in adopting mindfulness practise as part of their daily life. Mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve our body’s natural immune system and generally improve our overall health and wellbeing.

What the course will cover:
This course will continue to develop your knowledge and understanding of the numerous advantages of mindfulness practice. It can help you be more attentive, more grounded, more self-aware, more confident, more decisive, and opens up a new way of experiencing life. There is the opportunity to continue to participate in mindfulness exercises and develop your confidence to continue utilising mindfulness practice in everyday life.

Course Outcomes
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
• recognise how mindfulness can offer an effective way to manage stress
• identify mindfulness exercises that fit in with your daily routine
• recognise the benefits of continuing to practise mindfulness daily

Courses can fill fast, so please enrol early to avoid disappointment. Decisions on whether a course is to run are made two weeks prior to the start date - an email will be sent to you should there be changes to your course or if it is cancelled. Please check your inbox leading up to your course, including the junk folders. For anyone without an email account, our Admissions team will phone you instead.

For the first week of the course you will need to bring a valid form of identification; this includes passport, driving licence, debit/credit card, Birth Certificate or National Insurance card.

Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.

The rules on fee reduction are complicated, we would encourage you to talk to our Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to discuss these options. You can find more information on our Fees and Bursaries page - search "Fees and Bursaries" at the top of the page.
