From Katherine Burns Principal, Adult Community Learning Essex Lifelong learning matters to us - we want to make a difference to people’s lives. ACL Essex is not just about second chances; it’s about third, fourth, fifth and sixth chances. In fact, it is about helping you achieve the goals you have set your sights on, throughout your life. But it is much more than skills and qualifications, crucial as they are, it is also about making sure you flourish; your health and wellbeing, your sense of community belonging, and your confidence and belief in yourself. We aim to provide you with as many ways to flourish as possible. We are there in communities across Essex, to make a difference to residents and businesses, so everyone has the chance to make a difference for themselves and to the places that they live in. Whatever your ambitions for learning might be, we will be there to support you on your journey.

Online and in-person learning Our centres have reopened for Supported Learning, functional skills curriculum areas (English, maths and digital), Beauty & Complementary Therapies, Hairdressing & Barbering, and certain Creative & Cultural Learning courses. Other courses have been adapted for online delivery in our virtual classrooms or via distance learning. Our expert tutors will support you in our virtual classrooms to ensure your learning experience is of the same high quality as you would expect in our centres. 02

“I didn’t achieve much at school in the 80s and wrote myself off as incapable of understanding Maths and Science. I signed up for my GCSEs with ACL in my early 40s, not expecting much, and got the highest grade across the board in Maths, Science, English and Psychology.”

“Another thank you for your on-line course. Summer scenes was as enjoyable as Spring scenes with such a variety of subjects to choose from. It was fun to try out different mediums and to follow your helpful instruction sheets. I would love to be able to go to a class and meet others but contributing to Padlet I began to know other students (even those who I hadn’t met before). I think we may have had even more support than in our 2 hour class, as you have always been so available on-line. I would certainly like to join another of your classes.”

Taster/Short Courses A short course for people wishing to try learning a language before committing to a longer course. No previous knowledge is necessary. Starter For complete beginners who have no previous knowledge of the language. By the end of the course you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to ask and answer simple questions, and will be familiar with a handful of useful everyday expressions. Improvers You should have studied the language for at least a year or be able to ‘get by’ in a limited number of everyday situations, such as basic shopping, ordering a meal and understanding simple directions and times. You will revise previous learning and will learn how to talk simply about yourself, your interests and gain further vocabulary and grammar language knowledge. Intermediate You should have studied the language for 2 or 3 years and be able to exchange basic information about yourself and others and state simply what you did. You will revise previous learning and will learn further past and future tenses to develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.

You will learn to converse simply but accurately on a variety of everyday topics, read and understand short texts and write messages and short letters. Advanced For those who have studied the language for at least 4 or 5 years and who wish to consolidate and extend their skills. It may also be a suitable re-entry point for those who have studied at an advanced level in the past. Using a wealth of authentic materials, you will practise expressing your needs, wishes and opinions and will develop the ability to understand news items in the media and write letters and reports with confidence.

Apprenticeships & Work Based Learning Guide to Level Progression Level 2 Intermediate level designed for new entrants into a subject area or sector. Level 3 Advanced level which assumes prior achievement at level 2 or previous study/work in relevant subject area. Levels 4&5 Higher level programmes designed for those already working in the sector and looking to develop their skills up to degree level.

There is no upper age limit on apprenticeships, so they are suitable for everyone. You may be looking to gain your first step on the career ladder or be looking for a career change. 20% of your contracted hours will be spent in some form of ‘off job learning’ activity. We will work with you and your line manager to set up a programme and agree a learning plan. The apprenticeship lasts from 15-24 months depending on the type and level being undertaken. If you do not already have grade C (or suitable equivalent) or above in maths and English, you will be required to do this as part of your programme. Apprenticeships are also suitable for people who are already employed but require additional skills to meet the needs of their role e.g. promotion or change of job. Apprentices do not contribute to the cost of their programme – your employer will either pay the full amount through their apprenticeship levy or contribute towards the cost with the remainder funded by the government. For further information, please see our fees policy on our website aclessex.com/fees-policy.

We have a range of current Apprenticeship vacancies on our website, visit aclessex.com/latest-apprenticeship-vacancies to view them and apply.
