We support adults to improve their English, Maths and digital skills.
This gives our students the confidence and knowledge to help them succeed and strengthens their place in the community. We offer a wide range of Functional Skills courses and intensive literacy and numeracy support.
Our courses run three times a year, in the autumn, spring and summer terms.
Courses are free if you are:
- A resident of London
- A refugee
- An asylum seeker (resident of more than 6 months)
- Unemployed and in receipt of benefits
- Employed but on low income (less than £23,000)
