Adult Learning Programme

We develop and administer a varied programme

of Community Classes throughout the year in Skye and Lochalsh, though the majority of classes are held in the autumn to spring period.  There are classes taking place in many towns and villages which stimulate interests and provide a wide range of learning and leisure activities. 

These informal and enjoyable classes are scheduled subject to demand and utilise the skills and knowledge of local people to provide classes for learning and leisure in an ever-changing range of subject areas from conversational French to flower arranging and from Pilates to Polish.

An Autumn schedule of classes will be published in September, so watch this space for further information!!

Would you like to lead a Community Class?

If you have an interest or skill you think may be popular and you would be interested in leading a class - do contact your nearest Learning Centre and we can discuss this further.  We can offer you advice and support in planning, arranging and marketing your classes throughout the area.

HOW AND WHEN TO ENROL

You can enrol for all the above classes by calling the relevant Learning Centre when the courses are published in the local press, other publications, or on this website.

All bookings will be taken on a first come first served basis and your place will only be confirmed when you have paid.  Telephone bookings will be held for 5 working days to allow time for payment and proof of exemption, where applicable, to be sent to your local learning centre.

If a course is particularly popular we will keep a waiting list and try, if possible, to run the course again.  Some of the tutors can be flexible so we can possibly reschedule courses if the ones advertised don’t suit….please let us know. All classes depend on a minimum of 6 people enrolling – if there are insufficient numbers, we will get in touch and refund your payment.
