Adult learning provides local, accessible classes for adults and families in Leeds. We work with approved educational providers to deliver a huge range of courses. Many of our courses are aimed at less advantaged members of the community.
What's on offer?
Currently we offer over 1000 courses at over 200 community venues across the city. There are many different courses available offering you the opportunity to learn.
Courses can be for fun, lead to a qualification or to help you get back into work. You can learn and build confidence in anything from aromatherapy, basic computing, french or family pottery to popular singing.
