Is it possible to do a course on weekends while studying A levels at sixth form?

Hi,
I was just wondering if I would be able to do short courses in areas like electrical/ plumbing on weekends at my own pace while studying at A levels at sixth form. Currently I am 17 years old, I just wanted to know if this possible to do a course in which I can become certified.
If so, where can I do these courses, it would be better if I could attend these online, but I wouldn’t mind in person courses but only on weekends.

Hi, so you could do it in terms of your college wouldn't stop you, as they wouldn't know or care. In terms of workload... I personally struggled sooooo much at college, I personally couldn't have done it. But maybe you can? I don't know... People had relationships, jobs did driving lessons at college... So I wouldn't straight up say no.

I've looked at these courses before and they all tend to run on weekdays... So I don't know how you could find a course on the weekend. Unless it was online?

Your best bet would be your local college really?
