Derbyshire adult education courses
Posted on July 23 2013
DCC’s autumn brochures offer hundreds of courses on a variety of subjects including those that lead to new qualifications, improve essential skills or simply offer an opportunity to discover new hobbies and interests.
Courses start in September and include English, maths, ICT, first aid, food safety and health and safety in the workplace. There are also courses where the whole family can join in, including sessions in cookery and crafts. Many are free or subsidised.
There are hundreds of different courses. Examples of a few of the many courses are:
- Art – Painting & Drawing for Pleasure
- Community Volunteering
- Computers – Intro to Email
- Computers – Silver Surfers
- Cookery – many courses
- Crafts – Christmas Wreathes and Seasonal Decorations
- Family Learning – Bird Boxes
Councillor Kevin Gillott, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said:
“In these difficult economic times we’re pleased to be able to continue funding for a range of courses this autumn.
“If you’ve thought about expanding your learning, skills or interests get in touch to find out more.”
There’s plenty happening over the summer too at DCC’s Eco Centre, at Middleton-by-Wirksworth, including courses on healthy living, construction, dry stone walling, pottery, weaving, digital photography and hedge laying.
