Skills for work courses

Explore our skills for work courses

Our free work skills courses are designed for people who are recently unemployed, about to start their job search, want to refresh and hone their job searching skills, or want to move forward with their next step. You will learn how to stand out and be noticed in a competitive job market.

These short courses and workshops will help to build your confidence and prepare you for interview success.

We work closely with partners across the National Careers Service, Jobcentre Plus and local job clubs to ensure your needs are met and to help you impress your future employer.

Family learning

Explore our family learning courses

Family Learning courses are free for parents and carers to help you give your child a positive start in life, and to help support your child's learning and development at home and school.

Don't worry if you think you don't know enough about how children are taught or if you didn't do well at school yourself, or you don't understand the English education system. You are who these courses are for!

Our tutors are supportive and knowledgeable, and classes are relaxed and informal. Currently, all classes are delivered online.

We offer a wide range of online courses and workshops which can help you with:

• parenting
• wellbeing and managing anxiety
• understanding your child's behaviour
• getting to grips with maths and phonics
• cookery and healthy eating
• enjoying learning with your child through activities
• understanding education in England
• English as an additional language (EAL)
• Supporting your child with reading
• Supporting your teenager

Join one of our friendly groups, and together we can share a whole range of resources and ideas about how children learn at school and at home.
