Improve your core
skills with Adult Learning.
Adult Learning offers free support to
adults living in South Ayrshire who wish to improve their reading, writing,
spelling or number skills. We also offer basic computing courses and support
for people for whom English is not their first language. Students can learn in
a small group or on a one-to-one basis with their own tutor.
Our service is run by professional
staff and supported by trained volunteer tutors.
What happens when you refer someone?
We will contact them to arrange an
informal interview which will allow us to identify what support is needed.
A learning plan will then be agreed
with the learner which will address the person’s needs.
Adult Learners choose where and when
they want to work. They work towards their own targets using learning materials
specifically chosen for them. Progress is reviewed continuously and they
receive regular guidance as to their next steps.
Where do learners
go next?
Some Adult Learners make use of our
service to simply improve their confidence and self worth, and to cope more
effectively with everyday life. Some learners have poor literacy skills, others
may be looking to prepare for entry to a college course, or just to improve a
core skill such as handwriting, spelling, budgeting or sending an email.
At present, much of Adult Learning is
not accredited. However, the skills achieved can lead to accreditation if the
learner chooses to move onto more formal education or training.
How can we work
with you?
We can offer training to help your
organisation spot clients with literacy needs. We also accept referrals from
you.
Volunteering
Adult Learning also offers a 40 hour
training course for adults who wish to volunteer as a tutor.
