Glasgow Clyde College is offering two minute courses around the city for one day only - and it's something many of us will not want to miss.
According to research, once we hit 25, the brain can’t absorb as much information as when we’re younger, making it harder to learn new skills, especially around our busy lives.
So to help out, Skills Squad will take to the city, equipping locals with new knowledge. GCC’s Skills Squad is made up of a range of expert lecturers from across the college’s three city campuses, and will be teaching skills from courses in embroidery, BSL and Spanish.

Glaswegians will master a new skill in just a couple of minutes - in fact less time than it makes to make a cuppa tea - and it's happening soon.
From key phrases in British Sign Language, to creating custom fashion looks or quick-fire Spanish, GCC’s Skills Squad will be stationed across the city tomorrow on Wednesday, June 7 to roll out their rapid lessons to passers-by.
Jon Vincent, Principal at Glasgow Clyde College said: “As we get older, it can seem daunting when you’re faced with having to quickly pick up something new, whether that be learning how to use the latest IT system at work or even a bit of home DIY - we all know how frustrating it can be when it takes a while to get to grips with something.
“That’s why we’ve created a Skills Squad - a dedicated team of experts who will be on hand to teach Glaswegians genuinely useful information in minutes. From everyday know-how like understanding key phrases in BSL, to knowing how to customise your clothes to create your own fashion-forward looks, so many Glaswegians are going to be upgrading their repertoire.
“Our UpSkill courses are all about equipping people with the right tools they need to feel confident, whatever the challenge. From book-keeping to hairdressing or, there really is something for everyone.”
They'll be visiting George Square, Buchanan Street and Central Station (Gordon St entrance), with everyone taking part being awarded a special Speedy Skills Certificate.
Glasgow Clyde College offers over 80 ‘upskill’ courses in business, childcare, fashion, engineering, health care, social care, beauty, hospitality and many more.
Ranging from just a couple of days to a year as part-time, evening or distance learning, they are designed to help learners gain a new qualification, improve job prospects or find an exciting hobby.
