IntroductionWelcome to our Winter/Spring 2015 brochure listing the largest number of part time adult learning courses in the city.

In the following pages you will find courses to suit a variety of interests and hobbies alongside courses to help you improve your skills for work. We have a range of knowledgeable and enthusiastic tutors who really know how to make their subject come alive. We are adult learning experts who really understand what adult students need and how they learn best. We look forward to welcoming you to one of our programmes.

Signing up for an adult learning courseOnline:Signing up online is the quickest and simplest way to sign up for a course. We are hoping that within the next year, 80% of our bookings will be made online. It is the simplest and most secure way of booking with access 24 hours a day for 365 days per year. Use our new booking system to sign up and pay online at: www.yortime.org.ukThere are courses being added to the website every day so please visit regularly for an update of what is available. If you registered on the site last year then we will still have your details and you simply need to sign in, select your course and then follow the instructions on the screen.

Telephone and in person booking:If you do not have access to the internet or are not able to make a booking online, then you can book by telephone or in person. However this service is limited to the following times and days and you will not be able to book at any other time either in person or by phone. Telephone and in person bookings at West Offices can be made at the following times:

Monday: 10am - 4pm Wednesday: 10am - 4pm Friday: 10am - 4pm Monday: 5.30pm - 8pm - Additional telephone booking times.You can sign up by ringing: (01904) 552806

Telephone and in person booking will commence on 2nd January 2015. There will be no telephone or in person booking before this date.

How much the course costs For most courses you will see three prices displayed. The first price listed is the full cost of the course, the second one is for people claiming the state pension and the third price is for those people on some means tested benefits. If there is only one price then this is the price that everyone pays.

Some courses are free if you are claiming Job Seekers Allowance or Employment Support Allowance.

Instalments For courses £100 and over you can pay in four instalments. If you wish to pay by instalments then you have to ring to sign up. Instalments are a way of spreading the cost of the courses over 3 months.

Other help towards your learning No matter which course you attend, our tutors are happy to discuss ways to help you learn, including how to develop relevant English, maths and computer skills for your chosen topic. For courses designed to help you into work, additional help is available if you are claiming certain income related benefits. In some cases, our learner support fund may be used to help with travel, equipment and childcare costs. Please ring (01904) 554277 for further information.

How to find a course Courses are organised under area of interest headings. These are listed on the opposite page. If you are looking for a specific course you might want to browse through the listings.

This in under the umbrella of York’s Community Learning Partnership. These programmes are part of the wider city offer, part of our commitment to bring together other organisations to offer a range of learning from the very informal up to those of a higher and advanced level. We will be building on this partnership over the next few years and hope that as a result we will be able to offer a better and more responsive programme.

In addition to this we are always on the look out for new ideas and courses. Organising new programme and responding to new trends and ideas is what keeps our programmes fresh and interesting.

And we want to here from you about the kinds of things you would like to see. So if you or you and your friends have an idea for a course, or you think there is something missing then please email: york.learning@york.gov.uk
