How to enrol on adult education courses

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.

Enrol online or by phone

• You can enrol online for most courses by visiting the course page and clicking the ‘enrol now’ button.

• There is limited online enrolment support on 020 8314 6959 Monday to Thursday, 10am–4pm.

• We can only accept debit or credit card payments.

• If you need to do a pre-course assessment, please call 020 8314 6677.

To complete your enrolment you will need to provide proof of identity. We accept a photo of one of the following:

• passport

• driving licence

• national ID card

• birth or adoption certificate

• National Insurance card

• credit or debit card

• recent utility bills or bank statements

• freedom pass.

If you are applying for concessionary fees, you need to provide photo evidence showing that you are eligible.

How to enrol if you get reduced fees

If you are eligible for reduced fees:

• You can enrol online, but you have to pay the full cost of the course and claim a partial refund by submitting photographic evidence of entitlement.

Send your evidence to adultlearning@lewisham.gov.uk. Please include the word evidence in the subject line.

Pre-course assessments

• If you want to take an accredited course, you need to arrange a pre-course assessment interview before you enrol.
