Welcome

Broadening Horizons: Learning for Life with WEA Eastern Region
Read all about the work of WEA Eastern Region in the latest review of the year.

Welcome to the Website of Eastern Region WEA. We hope these pages will be of interest both to those who are already involved in WEA activities and those who want to get to know the WEA better.

Eastern Region works across six Local Learning and Skills Councils: Bedfordshire and Luton, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. There is a staff team of 26 and a course tutor panel of 400. 140 local branches form the base of the voluntary structure which both assist with the delivery of courses and contribute at various levels to the governance of the Region.

Learning for Life with the WEA Eastern Region

The Region puts on around 1000 courses a year, attracting over 9500 students from all walks of life. Some of our classes offer nationally recognised credits, while others are for people who are disadvantaged socially, economically or educationally. We also offer classes to anyone who simply wants to learn more, without gaining a qualification. Staff, course tutors and voluntary members in the WEA engage with learners to extend the boundaries of their skills and knowledge and encourage them on to the next steps in their learning journey.

Find out about the courses in your area.

Advice and Guidance

As part of our provision, WEA Eastern Region provides advice and guidance to all students who enrol on our courses. If in our discussion with you about your personal or professional development, the course best suited to you is with another educational provider such as a local college, we will provide you with all the information to take that next step. Please click here for information about learndirect, Nextstep and other organisations that can help you find an appropriate course.
