Our Partners

We work with universities, voluntary organisations and further education colleges throughout the city, as well as sections of the Council, to offer a wider range of classes and courses to suit you and your community group.

You decide what you want to learn at a place, pace and time that suits you to learn!


Can l get qualifications this way?

Yes, if you want. Courses can be certificated or non-certificated, formal or informal - it's what suits you.  Learners in some instances may go from non-certificated learning to obtain qualifications e.g. Scottish Qualification Authority awards.

People get into learning, attend courses and seek training for a variety of reasons. It can be job-related or interest-based.  Most of what we offer does not have an entry requirement and generally involves attendance for a couple of hours; this can be weekly or over a 20 week period - again what suits you.
