Adult Learning

Worcestershire County Council Libraries and Learning Service provide a range of part time adult learning day and evening courses. Whatever your age or background, everyone is welcome to access adult learning activities that are designed to develop personal skills and open new doors for you to gain new experiences.

The Adult and Community Learning team travel to venues all over the county where people may not have easy access to adult learning through established education centres, such as colleges. We work in informal settings, using venues such as libraries, church halls, community centres, children's centres and school halls as bases for our courses.

The Prospectus contains details of all courses for Autumn 2013.
