Go Learn this January

People are being urged to make a New Year resolution to return to learn in the new decade and take advantage of a new programme of courses in Leicestershire.

Leicestershire County Council’s new Go Learn course brochure offers an extensive choice of subjects in community colleges, libraries and local centres.

In computing, you can start with the basics in a beginner’s class, work towards a national qualification or even join a short class to help you get the best from your new digital or video camera.

Arts classes will give you the chance to take up a new hobby or skill and there’s still time to gain new language skills for that foreign holiday or business trip. In general subjects, how about gaining skills in first aid, touch typing or tracing your family history?

The council also support adults keen to brush up their skills in English and maths with local friendly groups where you can work towards the national test qualifications. Along with the ‘Skills for Jobs’ programme which includes Health and Safety, First Aid and Food Hygiene training, these free classes are an ideal way to improve your CV and job prospects.

Look out for the new Go Learn course brochure which will be delivered soon throughout the county, it gives details of how to enrol plus the fee discounts available to those in receipt of benefit – this means that some courses are completely free.

Brochures are also available by calling 0800 988 0308, from libraries, adult learning centres and community centres or by emailing adultlearning@leics.gov.uk with your address details. Downloadable information is also available at www.leics.gov.uk/golearn
