Drop-in sessions for anyone interested in adult learning courses will be starting next week. 

In the summer term, as well as English, maths, digital skills and ESOL, there will also be new courses, including:

•  employability – where Adviza (National Careers Service) has new programmes including how to prepare to search for local jobs
•  health and wellbeing, such as cooking on a budget, Macrame, sewing and tie dye 
•  family learning, such as supporting children with maths homework and new arts projects. 

To enrol on a course, you may need to attend an assessment session with the adult and community learning team. 

Baljit Mann, Community Learning and Skills Service Manager, said: "Please do have a look at what the adult learning service can offer you. We would love to help you with learning more about where you live, make new friends, support your families, or your wellbeing. 

“If you need help to gain a qualification you need to go onto further learning, for the next steps in your career or to get that job we are here! Come and meet our friendly team at The Curve, who can’t wait to meet you."
