Serving the people of Cumbria

Welcome......to the new brochure for Community Learning and Skills.

Once again I’m delighted to see so many courses being offered across the county. This is a great time to learn something new – improve your job prospects by gaining new skills for work; support your child with their homework by brushing up your Maths and English or increase your health and wellbeing by developing a new skill. Join a Community Learning class, it’s a great way to meet new people, build your confidence and discover your hidden talents!

Our friendly and helpful staff can help you enrol or if you’d rather, you can book your place online (www.cumbria.gov.uk/learningandskills).

Many of you will find that our Digital, English, Maths and ESOL courses are free of charge. To find out whether you qualify talk to your local centre now.

Whether it’s Maths, English, Digital Skills, Languages, Arts, Crafts or Health and Wellbeing, there really is a course out there for you.

Best Wishes

Cllr Deborah Earl

The opportunity to learn is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give to someone - including

yourself! Community Learning and Skills can help you give a gift like no other.

Contact your local Community Learning and Skills Centre to give the gift of learning to that special someone.

If you need to withdraw from a course before it begins, we will process refund requests as follows: • If the request is made more than eight weeks before the course starts, a full refund will be

returned. • If the request is made less than eight weeks and more than one week before the course

starts, a full refund less a £10 cancellation fee will be returned. • No refunds will be made if you withdraw from a course less than seven days before the start.

Learning SupportLearning Support is provided to meet the needs of learners who have an identified learning difficulty and/or disability. If you feel you are eligible for this support or require further information then please contact your Community Learning Centre.

Course viabilityPlease note that the running of each course is considered on individual merit and Community Learning and Skills reserves the right to withdraw or cancel a programme whenever its viability cannot be assured. Some courses may be viable with smaller numbers, whilst others may require larger groups of learners in order to run successfully. The decision of whether a course will run or not will be made no later than 5 working days prior to the advertised start date. In the event that it is not possible for a course to run we will contact you personally to offer a full refund or to discuss alternative options.
