Kirston Nelson

Director of Education

Summer is coming, so why not join one of our courses to gain a new skill and to set yourself up for the long days ahead? Join a course and gain a qualification if you are looking to return to work, gain a job for the first time, or to support you if you are already in work. You can try a new language for fun or for a holiday; a fitness or dance course to enhance your well-being or why not get outdoors and try some photography? You can also join in and learn as a family with our range of Summer Fun Family Learning courses or we also offer courses to help you help your children with Maths and English at School. You can then use your new skills in your work, with your families or they can make a real difference to the communities you live in.

Enrolments for Community Learning classes start on Wednesday 13th April 2016

The Adult Education Service runs crèches for pre-school children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old in many venues across the city to support learners attending ESOL, Maths, English and Family Learning classes.

Welcome to your summer term edition of Choice - we look forward to meeting you on a course soon.

Our crèches work to Ofsted Standards and provide high quality childcare.

Over the past few months, Coventry City Council and Coventry Citizens Advice have partnered with assist-Mi to offer the first citywide pilot of their disability access app, offering people with a disability the chance to get the bespoke assistance they may need in advance of arriving at a wide ranging number of service providers across the city. The city is embracing smartphone technology to help remove barriers for the 57,000 disabled residents as well as visitors. Users can get the bespoke assistance they may need, with the ability to also connect via two way messaging with their desired destination. The unique app gives the service provider a profile of the customer so they understand what their needs are likely to be and anticipate the service users’ arrival as well as being able to monitor in real time to see when they are approaching. The assist-Mi pilot is up and running; with a wide ranging set of service providers already on-board including Coventry Citizens Advice, Coventry City Council, Coventry University, Culture Coventry (2 locations) The Belgrade Theatre, Sports and Leisure Centre just to name just a few. The app is also listing Adult Education sites across the city with plans to have 22 venues offering assistance through the assist-Mi app in the coming months. Councillor Faye Abbott, Cabinet Member for community development, co-operative and social enterprise said: “I’m delighted the Council is working in partnership with local organisations to deliver this App. The Council is committed to facilitating visitors to the city get a positive experience and this app is one of the practical ways we can put that commitment into action.” Gary McFarlane, Co-Founder and CEO of assist-Mi and also a member of the Power List 100 most influential disabled people said: “assist-Mi is delighted to be working with Coventry City Council, the Citizens Advice Bureau and city businesses and app users, bringing a new way of offering enhanced access to service providers for their disabled customers. We look forward to potential users of the app downloading assist-Mi and getting involved in the pilot.”

On downloading the app, one user said “It gave me the choice of planning my journey to make my trip into the city smoother and easier and of course it is great that it is free for individuals.” The app is free of charge for users and is extremely accessible to a broad range of disabilities.

We will be holding Advice, Guidance and Enrolment days (see page 4) for: Accounting & Business Qualifications:

If your goal is to keep fit through dance, Zumba offers a diversity of dance styles that you can perform at your own pace to easy-to-follow, fun filled routines and styles that include Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue and Reggaeton. Additionally, Zumba Gold is aimed at participants who want to dance the familiar Latin Zumba moves but at a lower impact and pace. It’s a great way to improve fitness through dance and you don’t even need a partner!

COURSE LEVELS

Whichever style you choose, and with opportunities to perform at the annual dance celebration in July, dance can help to improve your coordination, confidence, and physical and mental health and is a great way to learn, develop and consolidate new skills whether dancing solo or with a partner. Places on all courses are available to learners aged 19 and upwards so enrol today.
