What we deliver

CAE, through its adult education and community development centres and partner organisations, delivers a wide range of learning opportunities in all parts of the county.  There are courses for people at all levels and interests, both qualification bearing and non-accredited, in a wide range of subjects:

• ICT
• Sports and Leisure
• Arts and Crafts
• Languages
• Humanities
• Skills for Life (including English for Speakers of Other Languages)
• Vocational NVQs
• Family Learning       

How we are organised

We organise and deliver the majority of our provision through our sub-contracted Adult Education/Community Development centres, plus some independent providers. Between them they have around 150 outreach locations, so there should always be a course close at hand. We deliver directly our Skills for Life (literacy, numeracy, English for Speakers of Other Languages), vocational, and family learning, again in outreach venues throughout Cumbria.
