Welcome to the Autumn edition of YourCumbria. As a council we strongly believe in people and communities learning together. That’s why this edition of YourCumbria is an adult education special. We want to make sure that everyone in Cumbria can find out about the huge range of courses on offer, so that you can join the 15,000 other people who experienced the pleasures and challenges of learning last year.
With more than 1,600 courses in 150 different venues, there will be something for you, whether you want to improve your chances in the job market; develop a new interest or hobby; or find out more about how you can help your children with their own learning.
You can log on to cumbriaadulteducation.org (external link) and check out our revamped website. There’s a search facility so you can select courses by subject area, location, day of the week, and time of the day.
So, take some time to browse, and then enrol on the course that is right for you.
Enjoy your read.
