Adult Learning
We provide accessible, high-quality learning programmes for adults.
We help adults develop digital and English language skills, including a variety of qualifications which can progress to further education and employment.
Our core programmes...
Highfields Digital Hub
A new digital hub has been established at Highfields Centre to provide free digital access and training to the community. The project is aimed at addressing digital poverty affecting all ages within the local area.
Our free access to computer facilities for adults and young people are supported by qualified tutors who tailor the programme to meet the needs of individuals.
