How will this develop my skills and confidence?
Archaeologists use lots of different skills to explore, record and understand how humans have affected the places they have lived throughout history.

This course is structured so that everyone taking part can develop skills such as reading, writing and maths, and gain confidence in communication skills and working in groups.

There may be opportunities to work towards a qualification.
