How to enrol on adult education courses

After you have chosen what course you want to do, you need to enrol.

We are keeping COVID-secure measures in place across our buildings to protect our staff, residents and visitors

Please continue to wear a face covering if you can and maintain social distance in our buildings. This includes our libraries, leisure centres and learning centres.

You can read the Government's current COVID-19 guidlines on its website.

Face coverings

Following updated guidance from the Department of Education in response to the Omicron variant, we recommend that face coverings be worn when:

moving around our adult learning centres
in corridors and communal areas

Face coverings no longer need to be worn in classrooms and workshops unless you choose to do so.

To make sure you get a place on your course, you should enrol before it starts. But you can enrol on a course up to three weeks after the start date if spaces are available.
