Adult Learners’ Week is the UK’s largest and longest running learning campaign. Held each May, it encourages thousands of adults, whatever their age and background, to give learning a go: whether it’s learning for pleasure, catching up on skills missed out on at school or getting that new job or promotion.

Adult Learners’ Week is all about celebrating and raising awareness of the fact that we all learn everyday often without realising it. And that taking the next step and going on a course needn’t be like going back to school.
Whether you want to gain new skills or qualifications to get a promotion at work, or want to learn more about a subject you’re interested in, adult learning could be the ideal solution.

There are almost a million courses available in the UK, so there’s bound to be one to suit your needs.
