ADULT TRAINING

Adult training is an increasingly important part of the work of the Association. Surveys of the community conducted in 2006 highlighted that the community was amongst the most under educated in the area, with low adult literacy and work place skills, putting it at a major disadvantage in a fiercely competitive world.

Focus is now on getting the basics right. Like all people and communities we feel embarrassed by lack of education, the inability to read or write and having skills inferior to our children. But it is a necessity that this is overcome to ensure a successful future for the community. So the Association is focused on getting basic skills improved to give people the confidence to go on to additional and/or further education, or to improve their prospects of employability.

We currently offer a variety of training courses:

ESOL English - basic course to teach the language, reading and writing

ESOL Citizenship - the course to prepare you to take the citizenship test

Computer & IT Skills - a course tutored to your needs

Workplace Courses - for those seeking certificate for particular Workplace skills or to help improve employability.

Drivers Theory Training - for those willing to learn Drivers Theory.

New and alternative adult courses will occasionally be posted on this page. If you wish to be kept informed of future courses please complete a ‘contact’ form on the ESOL English page.

The Association, though serving the Bangladeshi community, is an inclusive organisation; we welcome people of other ethnic origin on our courses and do not discriminate on the grounds of race, gender, faith, sexuality or disability.
