Information, Advice and Guidance

For each course we provide a Course Information Sheet (CIS) to help you pick the right course for you. The CIS will tell you if you need any skills, experience or qualifications to join the course or if it is for complete beginners. It will also give you details of what you can expect to learn and if you need to bring anything with you to your first class.

To access a CIS online, click on Courses. Once you have found a course that you are interested in, you will see the course information displayed on the screen. If you don’t find all the information you need, please phone us on 01296 382403 and our staff will answer your questions or put you in touch with our curriculum specialists for further information or advice.

From 1 August, 2019, there are changes to how we are funded. Nine areas in England will control their own funding. In Buckinghamshire, the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) will continue to manage our funding. This means we need to bid for funding to be able to offer learning to residents who live outside of Buckinghamshire.

Our main objective is to provide adult education to residents of Buckinghamshire. We do have a small number of learners who live outside of the county and attend our courses. The Greater London Authority (GLA) has said this number is too low for us to bid for funding from them.

This means that residents in the GLA area are not eligible for concessions for courses in Buckinghamshire. You are still very welcome to enrol but you will have to pay the full fee. If you would like to discuss further, please contact our customer services team on 01296 382403.

If you would like to use funding through the GLA, they will be able to provide information on Adult Learning providers in your local area.
