Kickstart the new academic year with our brand new Adult Learning Course Guide, with hundreds of free and low-cost courses for adults to study across Mansfield, Nottinghamshire and online.
Whether you want to progress your career with a recognised qualification or are just looking to have fun and pick up a new hobby, Inspire’s adult learning courses are for everyone. There’s a huge range of subjects available in Mansfield – from recognised qualifications in Maths, IT, science and English, to local history, languages, music and arts and crafts. At Mansfield Central Library, there’s courses available in macrame, pop music history, smartphone skills, functional English skills and more!
As an Ofsted registered Grade 2 'Good' provider, as well as winner of the 2020 Tes FE Award for Community Learning Provider of the Year, you’ll enjoy a fun, friendly, high-quality learning experience. For those who need more flexibility, there’s online and distance learning courses, designed for you to learn from the comfort of your own home. Depending on your circumstances, many courses will be free or low-cost, with accredited courses fully funded for those in receipt of certain benefits.
All Inspire learning courses can be booked online, or through ASK inspire. Keep an eye on our website, as there’ll be plenty more new courses added throughout the year.
The importance of community learning in bringing people together, building confidence and supporting people towards further study and employment is key. The lasting impact for our learners that we see time and time again cannot be underestimated.
Inspire has won a number of awards recently for the high quality learning we deliver, so if you’re thinking now’s the time to try something new, drop into your local library to pick up a guide, or browse online.
We’re delighted to be launching our brand new course guide, with all our classes for the upcoming year. We have a really amazing range of courses for both adults and families this year, all taking place in Inspire libraries and community venues across Mansfield and the wider Nottinghamshire area. It’s great to know we’ll be welcoming so many new learners, and we can’t wait to help you uncover some hidden talents and develop new skills, whether that’s for work or just for fun.
