Family Adult Community Education
We deliver adult learning courses in community settings across the city for adults aged 19 years and over.
Our courses run throughout the year, term time only. You can enrol in September, January or April.
Learning new skills with us will empower you to achieve your career goals and create new opportunities that might not have been available before.
Returning to education also demonstrates to employers that you are willing to work and can easily adapt to new environments.
The Family, Adult Community Education Service (FACES) provide a learning environment that focusses on you, the learner. Our classes are small, which means we can give each learner the individual support they need to progress in their learning journey.
Our tutors are qualified and have specialised knowledge, skills and experience of teaching adult learners.
We also understand the barriers some adult learners may face because they have had a poor prior experience of education or simply didn't have the opportunity to learn.
We will do our best to support you back into learning and help you to develop learner skill sets, employability skills, self-esteem, life skills and encourage you to develop social networks in a flexible learning environment.
If you have an enquiry about courses available or enrolling on a course please contact FACES.
