Thank you.
Yes, but I was wondering if 'attends' in the context of "I attended a course in British history" can be understood to carry the full meaning of "I took / enrolled in a course in British history," as opposed to merely being present at the classes comprising the course.

In the past tense, "I attended a course in British history" implies that you did not enroll in the course, merely that you attended a class.
So, if you enrolled AND attended the class, you would say "I took a course in British history."
