Coalville will be among the towns hosting Leicestershire County Council adult learning courses from GoLearn!

The service offers part-time day, evening, and weekend courses, courses are designed to support adults in Leicestershire aged 19+ to improve their wellbeing and gain the confidence and qualifications needed to start, or grow their career.

More than 3,000 people have already enrolled so far for the 2024-2025 programme, which the council says makes it one of the service's most successful intakes. 

Popular courses include Introduction to Smartphones and Tablets, Yoga, Pottery, and Better Mental Health courses.

With a range of more than 250 courses starting in the New Year, there's lots for people to try, including Fused Glass, Pottery, Better Mental Health workshops, Website Development and Digital Photography. 

GoLearn also offers free Skills for Life courses, which are designed to help learners improve their maths and English alongside valuable digital skills, as well as courses that support career development and skills for work including CV writing and completing application forms.

In total, more than 700 courses run at dedicated adult learning centres and community venues across Leicestershire and online. 

This includes Coalville, Enderby, Hinckley, Loughborough, Melton and more.

Councillor Christine Radford, cabinet member for adults and communities, said: "GoLearn's adult learning courses provide Leicestershire residents with a great opportunity to tick off one of their New Year's resolutions by developing a new skill or improving an existing one. 

"GoLearn has a fantastic range of courses available for people to make use of, so that their goals can be achieved. This ranges from finding employment to helping your children with their learning development. I'd encourage everyone to sign up to one of the GoLearn courses."
