Most courses can be joined at any time of the year and fast-track options are available for students who already have an appropriate level of knowledge and skills. We will give you the advice you need to choose the best option for you and specialist support is also available for students where needed. Many thousands of local people have found success with Learn Local - and the stories of just a few can be found in the section 'Meet our Students'. OUR AIM Learn Local aims to develop Lifelong Learning opportunities for all by providing quality services, support and resources to enable individuals and communities to achieve their learning goals. Learn Local is committed to delivering a service that is based upon the principles of equal opportunities and choice for all.
Additional support is available for students who have a learning difficulty or physical disability.
Help can also be given to students who speak or write English as their second language. For more details see Student Support. The Learn Local Team is based at the Hind Hill Centre, Heywood and has responsibility for the development of the adult and community learning programme across the Borough. The Team welcomes enquiries from people wishing to discuss Learn Local provision and particularly welcomes proposals for improving the quality and impact of the service.
