Introduction to Adult Learning
Our curriculum
Our courses are grouped into three main areas:
1. Aspiration and employment
Courses that help you gain qualifications, job skills, and progress to further education and work
2. Health and wellbeing
Activities that support your physical and mental health, including fitness, dance, singing and gardening and English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) for health
3. Participation and citizenship
Courses to build everyday skills and confidence, such as maths and literacy, family learning, volunteering, digital skills and computing, local history and English for speakers of other languages (ESOL)
Flexible learning options
If you find that a course isn’t right for you after the first class, you may be able to switch to a different one. Speak to your tutor as soon as possible for advice. With non-exam courses, you might also be able to join a course after it’s started. Contact the course provider directly to check.
Support for disability or learning difficulties
We welcome all learners in our classes. If you have a known learning difficulty or disability, it helps your tutor to know how best to support you. We can make reasonable adjustments to meet your needs, for example, by providing personalised learning materials, printing handouts in a larger font, or giving you a digital copy to use with assistive software at home. Please tell us what works best for you so we can support your learning in the most effective way.
