Essential Skills for Life, Work and Learning

If you want to feel more confident with reading, writing, numbers or using technology, our Core Skills courses are a great place to start. These free courses are designed specifically for adults who want to improve their English, maths or digital skills - whether it’s to help with everyday tasks, support their children’s learning, return to work, or prepare for further study.

You’ll learn in a friendly, supportive environment at a level that’s right for you. Courses are flexible, with daytime and evening options, and we’ll help you build your confidence step by step. There are no exams to start - just an informal assessment so we can place you on the right course.
