Adult Community Learning are members of the Adult Learning Network and sit on the Learning Promotion Group in conjunction with many other learning providers in the Neath Port Talbot area. This group is supported by NIACE Dysgu Cymru (National Institute for Adult Continuing Education) to promote adult learning through different events throughout the year. For example the group have recently hosted the Adult Learner of the Year Awards (see pictures).

What you need to join a course: Adult Community Learning operates an open access policy to its classes. There are no formal entry requirements and access to classes will not be restricted on the grounds of prior attainment, age, employment or any other reasons.

As part of the accreditation requirements learners are asked to keep a portfolio of their work which may require an element of written work. If you have any concerns about this we offer free Literacy Skills courses to support your studies. Arrangements can also be made to provide support within the class if needed. For more information contact Jo Griffin on 01639 898581 or speak to your tutor.
