Adult Education

The Adult Community Learning Service provides a wide range of high quality part-time courses for adults across Essex. Currently more than 35,000 learners are enrolled on 5,000 courses at 400 venues. We recognise that adults want to learn in flexible ways so we plan our courses to fit into your lifestyle, whether you want to study for one day, one term, one year, or online. Our staff are friendly, experienced and well qualified.

We offer a huge range of courses, to help improve skills, develop new interests and gain qualifications to help improve job prospects, gain promotion, or to prepare for entry to higher education. We also provide supported learning for adults with learning difficulties and disabilities.

The Adult Community Learning Service also delivers a range of specialist services including work-based learning and bespoke training for example National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs). We work in partnership with schools, libraries, District, Borough and Parish Councils, Government Organisations, Voluntary and Community Groups and employers, to address local and national training needs.
