Our adult learning service
We offer courses designed to develop skills in a range of areas. Find out more.
Welcome to our summer 2025 programme!
Sign up for one of our adult learning courses to improve your skills in the workplace, job prospects, or for your wellbeing and personal development.
We have a range of courses to choose from. Some can lead to nationally recognised qualifications.
Courses run during the day, evenings, and weekends so we can accommodate as many residents as possible with different routines.
Family learning courses are run after school or during the school holidays.
