Finding your way back into learning

Our 10-week Return to Learn and Women’s Lives courses are designed for members who may have been away from learning for some time. Run for us by the WEA, these courses offer a welcoming and supportive route back into education.

Return to Learn

Return to Learn is a course designed for adults who may have been away from learning for some time.

You’ll find that it helps you, not only in your job, but also outside work, with things like taking part in group activities, helping the kids with homework, getting yourself heard, and finding new opportunities.  Often members go on to take qualifications in English and maths, and many have found it a helpful route into further and higher education.

The course includes:

• problem solving
• using a computer
• discussions
• team working
• exploring points of view
• everyday maths
• improving notetaking and writing
• thinking about your future

Women’s Lives

If you are a woman member who wants to get back into education but have been put off in the past because it all seemed too difficult then Women’s Lives is ideal.  It is  particularly suitable for women who have been out of education for a long time and have had few educational opportunities in the past.

The aim of the course is to build your confidence as well as to help you to develop your study skills, so the emphasis is on co-operation and mutual support.  It focuses on women’s experiences at work and in their personal lives.
