In celebration of Adult Learner's Week, on Saturday 6th June Newbury College held a free 'Adult Taster Day'. This was a fantastic opportunity for adults to explore the wide range of learning opportunities on offer at Newbury College. Visitors tried out leisure courses via interactive workshops and 'have-a-go' activities or discussed their learning next steps with tutors.
Adult learners can enrol now for leisure courses (from Art & Craft through to Upholstery), for professional courses (from Accountancy through to Web Design), or for free Distance Learning courses (from Common Health Conditions through to Safe Handling of Medicines). It's also easy to improve your English, Maths, ICT and language skills via Newbury College.
Sarah Hughes, Community Learning Manager at Newbury College said, "This was the first Adult Learning Taster Day that the College has held and hopefully it will be the first of many. Over half of our attendees enrolled for a course on the day. Via a raffle the event raised £190 for the Alzheimer's Society."
