Fit learning around your week
Torfaen Council says classes run in the morning, afternoon and evening across the borough. Most are taught face to face, although online self-study options are also available.
The programme spans essential skills, vocational qualifications and lifestyle or leisure subjects. That gives learners a choice between building everyday skills, working towards a qualification and taking up a hobby.
Where to start
The council directs prospective learners to Torfaen Adult Community Learning on Connect Torfaen. Its provider page lists digital skills, English for speakers of other languages, communication skills and vocational courses, alongside autumn enrolment information.
Before enrolling, check the individual listing for the venue, timetable, entry requirements and any charges. The overall course count does not mean every class has a space available at every time.
