KIDS & FAMILIES NEW FUNDING PROVIDES FREE QUALIFICATIONS FOR ADULT LEARNERS
Advertisement
With the government continuing to offer more opportunities to retrain or upskill for free, now is the time to change your future.
With busy lifestyles and the worry that new qualifications are expensive, the idea of pursuing new ventures or make a lifelong dream become a reality is always left to the side for many adults.
But now with adult education high on the agenda for 2021 and beyond, there are many ways for anyone aged 19 and above to step back into education.
Bringing these opportunities to the local community, Vision West Nottinghamshire College is running a wide range of courses that are dedicated to helping adults back into training after the pandemic.
Offering both funded and part-funded training qualifications in areas such as healthcare, engineering, education and more, they are supporting both employed and unemployed adults back into the workplace or into a new career.
As a more flexible alternative, they are also offering free online courses ranging across key sectors such as business, childcare and health and social care; all of which result in a qualification equivalent to a GCSE or O-level.
So if you have recently thought about making a change to your career, now is the time to make anything possible.

RETRAIN AND UPSKILL WITH NEW GOVERNMENT FUNDING
If you want to update your skills or try something new - Now is a great time to join a local course!
Over the last year many of us have changed the way we do things, at Derbyshire Adult Community Education we’ve rethought the courses we offer. We have both online and centre based courses available in the Autumn term. You can upskill and gain a qualification or have a go at one of our wide range of leisure classes. We have many courses to help improve your wellbeing or to help you get fit. Get inspired, make friends and start a new journey of discovery!
The first two weeks of September are for our FREE online taster sessions. These are an opportunity to find out more about some of the longer courses coming up this term. We have a number of new online courses that are ideal if you are living on your own, wanting to make new friends or thinking about first steps exercise including: Easy Meals for One, Chair Based Yoga, Creative Get Together and Lower Impact Zumba for Wellbeing. Our live online courses are delivered using freely available video conferencing software, either Zoom or Microsoft Teams. We make it as easy as possible for you to join a course, whatever device you have. You will be sent a link a few days before the course together with information about any resources you need for the course. Your tutor will guide you through the course activities
If you are thinking of getting back into learning try a FREE Making Choices workshop. The sessions can help you to choose what courses you would like to do in the future, increase your confidence and know your current level of skills in English, Maths and Digital Skills. Once you have completed your Making Choices, you can join our popular FREE maths and English courses. Classes are running online, in centre or with a mixture of online and classroom based learning.
