We provide a wide range of courses for adults in the community. We work with many community and statutory organisations to deliver courses in community centres, schools, halls and clubs.
Everyone needs to improve their skills throughout life so that they can obtain work, earn more, change jobs, or achieve promotion. Many people missed out at school, but can improve their prospects by gaining new skills now.
Very often this can be done in an informal environment close to home. Classes take place in relaxed and informal surroundings and are made up of adults of all ages. You will find that tutors are friendly and helpful giving you individual attention. Courses are set up in response to requests from community groups and can be facilitated at any time of the year.
Most of the courses are accredited and so lead to qualifications recognised by employers. When students are ready, they can progress to related courses in our main campuses.
