Welcome to the Adult Education Programme at Cambourne, Comberton and Melbourn Village Colleges 2017/18.

We strive to provide a high-quality and varied programme of courses taught by well-qualified and enthusiastic tutors. Activities take place in the daytime, evenings and on weekends and we do hope you will find something here to interest you. Please let us have comments and feedback on the courses you attend and ideas you may have for future programmes, it is important to us. Our prices have increased this year to reflect changes in central funding but we hope you agree that they are still very good value for money and we look forward to seeing you in 2017/18.
