GoLearn, Leicestershire County Council’s Adult Learning Service, is offering a 20 per cent discount on all course fees for learners looking to find a new passion or gain a qualification in 2024.
The adult learning service offers hundreds of courses in venues across Leicestershire for adults aged 19+, with 70 per cent reduced fees available for those on a low income or receiving certain benefits.
Adult learning courses are designed to support adults in Leicestershire to improve their wellbeing and gain the confidence and qualifications needed to start their career. Courses are part-time and designed around life and work.
For those looking to develop or start their career journey, the service offers digital skills, English and maths qualifications, alongside ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), employability and family learning opportunities. There are also Better Mental Health courses to support people experiencing, or recovering from, mental ill-health to understand the next steps in recovery.
Di, a maths and English learner based in Enderby, said of her learning: “I left school with no English or maths qualifications. The GoLearn course gets me out of the house and meeting people.
“I prefer to come to class, I like the interactions. I’ve got a brilliant group in maths and English. My confidence has increased and know things I didn’t know before.
“It’s getting my brain going. It gives me something extra to put on my CV. I have a brilliant tutor in Radha.”
Steve from Melton Mowbray attended a British Sign Language course with his wife in early 2023. He said: “This was the perfect course for both my wife and I to progress from no knowledge at all, to being confident in having a conversation with a person from the deaf community.”
GoLearn prides itself on making courses accessible, and the 20 per cent discount on course fees is a fantastic offer for people wishing to pursue a new interest or gain a new skill.
To avoid missing out on this great opportunity, I would encourage everyone to look at the courses on offer and enrol before 31 January 2024.
