Councillor Phil Page, Wolverhampton City Council's Cabinet Member for Schools, Skills and Learning, said: "Level 3 qualifications introduce students to the skills they need to study their chosen subject at university, or to get into work.

"They are ideal for people who are looking to develop a good understanding of a particular subject, which could in turn create many new career options for them."

Level 3 courses are just one type of qualification offered by Wolverhampton's Adult Education Service, which was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in its most recent inspection, published in January 2015.
