**FREE* and low cost courses**

Courses are FREE if you’re in receipt of eligible benefits, and we’ve reduced the cost of our courses by 50% for everyone else to make learning a new work skill, or learning about a new hobby or interest more affordable.

Due to the ongoing Covid pandemic, the majority of our courses are delivered online – you still get to be part of our lovely community with the same experienced, and friendly tutors, only online via Zoom.
