Start as you mean to go on…
Holiday season is upon us, so for August we have a smaller selection of workshops and courses, as we know how busy the summer can be for everyone. It can also be a great time to try something new and maybe kick start your learning journey! So, we’ve got some fab photography courses, family fun and fitness, wellbeing, beauty and more. This selection is just a taster for the amazing, ever increasing range of workshops and courses coming from September, so watch this space!
Plus, if you’re looking to gain your English or maths qualifications, either at GCSE or Functional Skills, you’re in the right place. Explore your options below.
We aim for our workshops and courses to develop your skills, build your confidence and encourage you to get the best out of life. And do remember to check back regularly for updates on new courses throughout the month.
Go on, dip your toes and test the water this summer…
And if you’d like to plan further ahead, why not explore what’s available in September, October, November and December. We hope to see you soon!
