Adult Education
Where to find information about local adult education

Information about local adult education is available from:-
    colleges

    libraries

    the local education authority (LEA).

This information lists organisations, which give advice and information about, or run, adult education courses. Many produce information leaflets or guides to courses, which can be bought from the organisation if they are not available in a local library.
