Bath Spa University Short Courses

Bath Spa University has recently been awarded funding to deliver short courses to 60 Military partners by December 2027, with support from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust’s (AFCFT) AF3 Supporting Partners programme and Wiltshire Council. 

Over the next two years BSU’s Short Course Unit will deliver courses covering two subject areas to partners of current serving personnel, to support employability opportunities and develop key skills. Learners on these courses will increase their confidence and skillset, be able to learn flexibly and will be supported by staff members from Bath Spa University and partner organisations with lived experience. 

Offerings will include an online Agile Project Management course open to Military partners both nationally and internationally, taking place in October 2026 and October 2027, and an in-person Digital Marketing and Entrepreneurship course, taking place in April 2026 and April 2027 in Wiltshire.  

The latter will offer participants practical creative skills and support for self-employment, as well as free childcare for the duration of the course. 

he funding by AFCFT will expand upon BSU’s existing support for Military personnel, having previously worked in partnership with the Forces Transition Group and Coherent Training to upskill over 100 forces leavers through their Skills Bootcamps, helping them to make their transition back into civilian life.
