Learning for leisure
If you have been out of learning for a long time you might like to get back into learning with a course that meets a personal interest and is less focused on a qualification. There are leisure related courses where you can do a course on local history, crafts, photography as well as many more topics. Learning like this gives you the chance to find out what you enjoy, meet new people and build up your confidence so that you take the next step in learning.
Leisure courses take place in colleges, adult learning centres, libraries and lots of other places. It’s a great way to help you move on in life and work. You can find out more about this type of learning on the Directgov site, or search for a course on the School of Everything website.
If you want to try a free taster of a topic of interest to you, you can download, short clips about a range of topics from more than 800 universities, world wide. You will need to dowload I Tunes to your PC or phone and then go to I Tunes U to find topics including an introduction to quantum mechanics, etc!
