EDUCATION

IN ASSOCIATION WITH

Where Kent Learns
Kent Adult Education is the heart of adult learning in Kent. As the
largest provider we have had almost 20,000 people enjoy a course
with us over the last academic year.
With over 4,000 courses for you to enrol upon
now we really do have a course that’s perfect
for you. Our courses run from Monday to Saturday
at various times of day from morning to as late
as 9.30pm in the evening. We want everyone to
find a new hobby, learn a new skill, get fit, get
creative and to have fun on our courses.
With 15 dedicated adult education centres across
the county from Tunbridge Wells to Dover and
Folkestone to Dartford we have courses that are
local to you and convenient for you to get to with
many of our centres in the middle of the town.
Plus we work with around 100 other locations
such as village halls, libraries and schools to
make sure we have the perfect environment and
location for everyone in Kent.
Courses are available in a range of subjects too:
arts, craft, business, general studies, GCSEs,
health & fitness, language, personal development
and photography & computing. Ranging from

free tasters to accredited courses we’re sure that
whether you are a beginner or someone who
wants to excel with an advanced course we
can find a course that’s at the right level for you
to flourish.

are fantastic but our students do too! Here’s
what just one of our students said about their
experience: “Every aspect of the course has been
excellent, enjoyable, informative, well presented
and beneficial.”

One of the biggest misconceptions we come
across is that potential learners think that courses
will be too expensive to join. We offer a range of
‘pay as you go’ fitness courses that start from
£5 per session and there is no obligation to turn
up every week. Our half day courses can be as
little as £25 and full day Saturday courses are
£50, these even usually include materials too!
Plus if your course is £70 or more we offer the
ability for you to pay a 25% deposit and pay the
rest in instalments so it really is easier than you
think to enrol and enjoy adult learning.

If there’s always been that course you think about
doing or you really want to do more with your
spare time now is the perfect time to take a look
and enrol. Our brand new courses are enrolable
now and with 4,000 courses, over 700 of them
at the weekend too there has never been a better
time to start your Kent Adult Education
experience.

We’re also really proud that for the past two years
we have scored 9/10 for customer satisfaction.
Not only do we think our courses and teaching
