Community provision with Lancashire Adult Learning
Lancashire Adult Learning South and East Area is responsible for community-based provision across Chorley, South Ribble, West Lancashire, Pendle, Burnley, Rossendale, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley.
We work with a wide range of community groups and organisations to offer learning opportunities to service users, staff and volunteers. We are happy to discuss your needs or the needs of your group to develop a programme of appropriate learning opportunities. Learning opportunities offered can be:
- Learning for personal development, with no accreditation
- Learning programmes leading to nationally recognised qualifications
- Courses designed to enhance employability
- Courses designed to help you run your organisation more effectively
- Courses which focus on the development of new skills
- Courses which bring together different groups within the community and help learners to develop skills which will contribute to the development of the local area
- Courses designed to help you get on the ladder to gaining your first full level 2 qualification (the equivalent of 5 GCSE’s A* - C)
- Courses to help you improve your skills for life (language, literacy and numeracy)
