Programmes

 

The Lifelong Learning and Skills Service offer a variety of training programmes and courses.

 

 

 

These include courses in ICT, both for beginners and for people who wish to improve their existing knowledge in Microsoft Office packages, computer repair, maintenance and installation or graphics.  There are also courses in Music and Music Technology, Childcare, Health and Social Care, Construction, Horticulture, Catering and Cleaning as well as Business Administration. Our courses can help people who are employed to update and improve their skills and to progress in their careers.  For people who are not in employment our courses will provide job related skills.  Many people also choose to study with us do so for personal development and because they enjoy acquiring new skills and learning for its own sake.
