Skills for Life

Our aim is to support individuals and organisations to tackle their skills for life issues, through offering a flexible package of measures. This includes tailor-made provision for individuals who want to improve their literacy, numeracy or language skills, as well as using tools such as a skills check assessment.

We offer friendly informal advice, a skills check assessment and guidance on what provision is available and suitable for your needs. Most of our courses are run in co-operation with organisations in the community or through our workplace learning programme.
