Events Programme

We like to celebrate our learners success and from time to time we hold a series of Showcase events that displays the work of our learners.

We also hold learning events to attract new learners and to enable you to talk to other learners, staff and tutors or for you just to come along and find out whats going on in your community.

Our learners are important to us and we want to ensure that we continue to offer a quality learning experience to all our learners. Through course evaluations completed at the end of each course we are able to make a judgement on the quality provided. However we believe that the Learners Voice should be part of how we work and should not be lost. That is why you will find all our staff approachable and keen to listen and during 2007 and 2008 we will be holding Focus group sessions to enable learners to express their feelings and contibute to our continuing success.

Watch this area for a list of events that will be running throughout the year.
