Kent Adult Education
Kent Adult Education provides courses for individuals and bespoke courses for businesses in areas such as creative skills, health, sport, leisure and self development.
Courses range from those that help you to develop a hobby, for example painting and drawing, sculpture, pottery and embroidery, to running, yoga, Pilates and dance. They also offer a range of more unusual courses which are ideal for people looking for something different; examples include falconry, canoeing and climbing.
Their wide range of language courses are very popular and include courses in French, German, Spanish, Chinese Mandarin and Russian.
To broaden your qualifications why not enrol on GCSE English, mathematics or psychology, A2 photography or textiles? Courses for general interest include history and law, and for work related courses we have bookkeeping, accounting, ECDL, computing and management. Kent Adult Education also has a beauty and complementary therapies programme allowing individuals to gain ITEC qualifications across a whole range of subjects.
Courses take place across Kent. You can view their course directories online.
