Universal Class is an online educational service providing a range of learning courses for people interested in the lifelong pursuit of knowledge. There are hundreds of courses - from accounting and bookkeeping to yoga. These are non-credit courses and are provided for your personal development. Courses are not intended to be a substitute for any state, government, licensing, or educational requirements.
You'll have access to your course 24/7 online, so you can attend classes and do assignments as and when suits you. Each course has a real instructor who you can communicate with using email.

Please enter the full membership number without any spaces when using it to log in to the online resources.
If the number on your library card does not have the prefix 20112, you will need to add it at the beginning when using your membership number to use the online resources.
If using your HillingdonFirst card as your library membership card, it must have been activated at one of our libraries.*
