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.

• You can enrol by phone on 020 8314 3300, Monday to Friday, 10am–3pm, Monday to Thursday from 4:30-7:30pm and Saturday morning from 9am-1pm, during term time only.

• We can only accept debit or credit card payments.

• If you need to book a pre-course assessment or have a query, please call 020 8314 3300, Monday-Friday 9am-4pm.

If this is your first enrolment with us you may need to provide proof of identity. We accept a photo of one of the following:

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.
