BACK TO SCHOOL
 Back
to School
September is the month that traditionally sees us getting back to the business
of learning as a new academic starts once again. But for many of us, by the
time we have got the kids sorted out with their schools or rushed off our feet
with busy working lives, we end up not having the time to find a course that
suits us. Or, by the time we do, it’s already full.
Fortunately, many of the learning providers in west London now offer detailed
websites giving details of what they have to offer. Being able to start researching
what’s out there without having to wait for a prospectus or finding out
where we go to enrol without holding in a telephone queue can be extremely helpful.
Of course, one easy option is to use Westlondongrid’s own search
facility. This will search simultaneously across all learning opportunities
made available to us in the west London area.
The direct links to the individual websites of the Adult Education providers
in west London are…
In Brent
In Ealing
In Hammersmith & Fulham
In Harrow
In Hillingdon
Individual websites will also contain additional information on how to enrol,
costs, dates and how to get help with choosing the right course.
Remember that there are also many other providers of courses and learning opportunities
that will be starting in west London other than Adult Education services. A
“short list” of some of the main providers in west London is located
here. Additionally, Westlondongrid’s
full, extensive directory of course
providers (link) can help you find courses that might be more specialist
in nature or run by smaller organisations.
Although most of us seem to prefer courses that are local to where we live
or work, sometimes the right course for us will simply not be available locally.
In which case, it might be worth taking a look at Hot
Courses to search more widely across London.
The Right Choice
Finding the right course can be daunting. It is clearly understood by the authorities
that regulate learning that helping learners make the right choice is an essential
part of education. Therefore, all quality providers will offer Information,
Advice & Guidance services in one form or another to all potential learners.
Again, the individual sites of providers should give details of local arrangements.
But some providers have also provided online information to help you make the
right course choice. This
section of Hammersmith & Fulham AES website gives some useful information
on the level of courses.
