2 Adult and Community Learning full and part-time courses 2019/2020
Welcome This year's brochure is filled with more than 70 nationally- recognised qualifications, with a wide range of subjects, including English and maths, childcare, gardening and floristry, art, languages and media. There are also creative, IT and fitness courses for older learners. If you're looking for courses specially designed for adults with learning difficulties and disabilities, this year we have introduced a new easy read brochure, which lists more than 40 courses in subjects such as art, photography, drama, cooking, English, maths, IT, ceramics and sewing. Working with a number of partners and community groups, schools and children's centres, all of our courses offer the opportunity to learn with adults of similar ages and abilities in a friendly environment. If you can’t decide which course(s) to do, have a look at our learners’ case studies throughout the brochure and read firsthand how others have benefited from completing a course with Hillingdon. You can also speak with our Adult Learning team at an open day, where you can get information, advice and guidance about your options. (See page 5 for dates and details.) Whichever subject you choose to study, this is a great opportunity for you to learn something new, build your confidence, meet new people, gain qualifications or further your career; above all, enjoy it.

Initial assessments (IA) for qualification courses
Courses that provide a recognised qualification require you to complete a formal initial
assessment, which identifies your current levels of English, maths and digital skills, your subject
knowledge and helps us provide tailored support where necessary to help you successfully
complete your course.
Initial assessments can take around two hours, be completed at open days or by appointment at
one of our centres. They consist of:
• a one-to-one interview with a tutor
• a short piece of writing that gives us some background about you and allows us to assess
your writing level
• online English, maths and IT assessments, depending on which course and subject you want
to study
Where a course includes an initial assessment, this symbol is shown IA.
Please remember to bring the following with you to your initial assessment:
• your photo ID

How we can support you
Support with learning
There are many ways that we can support you with your
learning, including:
• developing your English, maths, digital and
employment skills
• offering individual support in class and free access
to our e-learning resource (Moodle) – see page 7
for details
• carrying out one-to-one assessments to identify the
most effective support where additional learning
needs are disclosed, eg
• someone to interpret, read or sign for you
• adapted learning materials
• adaptive equipment, eg screen reader software when using the computer
• helping with study skills, eg essay writing, portfolio building or presentations, through our
free Open Learning Centre – see page 7 for details
• providing information and advice throughout your course about how to achieve your career goals
• putting you in touch with other agencies for specialised support when necessary
For more information, contact any of our centres – see page 12 for contact details.
Financial support
If you are studying for a qualification and already receive an income-based (means-tested) benefit,
you may be able to receive financial support through the Learner Support Fund. Please ask at any
of our centres for an application form, which our staff will be happy to help you complete.
Staying safe
We are committed to creating and maintaining a safe and secure environment where all of our
learners feel safe, equal and respected when studying with us, and we ask that you play your part
in this by showing respect to all other users at all times. As part of this, when you enrol, we will
issue you with a badge that identifies you as a learner and we ask that you wear it whenever you
are in our classes or centres.

terrorism. All of our staff who work with young people or vulnerable adults have a duty to respond
and immediately report any signs of harm, abuse or extremism that are recognised or disclosed.
We ask all learners and users of the service to take an active role in helping us fulfil this duty, so if
you recognise anything that you consider a risk to your or anybody else's safety, you are strongly
encouraged to report it as soon as possible.
Supporting your emotional health and wellbeing
We want all of our learners to feel confident in their learning and to achieve their goals. Most
adults study whilst running a home, raising a family, working and often caring for relatives. It’s
little wonder that we can find our emotional wellbeing suffer under the weight of everyday
pressures. Helping you to combat this strain is important to us, so we will ask you about your
emotional health and wellbeing throughout the course, so that we can provide as much support
as possible to help you thrive whilst you learn and achieve your aims.
Education and careers support
Having a goal to work towards helps keep us on track and our friendly and experienced team is
here to help you do just that. From setting your goals to identifying the steps you need to take to
achieve them, we have trained advisors who will work through it all with you free of charge,
whether that involves studying on course with us or doing something completely different. If you
decide to enrol on a course with us, we have lots of help available if and when you need it.
Open Learning Centre
Our Open Learning Centre runs throughout the borough to give learners free, additional support
in study skills, assignment writing and more. Our skilled tutors offer support that is tailored to
your individual needs and designed to help you complete your course.

Hillingdon Council deems the behaviour to be at a sufficient level to warrant exclusion, this route will be
followed with no refund of fees.

Help paying for your learning
Paying in instalments
Where a course lasts for at least four months, fees are higher than £100 and it is not sponsored by
a third party, payment can be made in four instalments. This needs to be arranged at the time of
enrolment, where the learner will need to pay 50 per cent of the course fee.
Enrol online at www.hillingdon.gov.uk/adultlearning 9
The remaining 50 per cent will be collected through three monthly direct debits, which will be set up
at the point of enrolment and paid on the 24th day of the month following the start of the course.
Learning loans
Where indicated in the course tables (within Floristry, Childcare, Counselling and Community
Interpreting) there are no concessionary rates.
For these courses, a learning loan from the Student Loans Company may be available to learners:
• aged 19 to 23 and have already achieved a Level 3 qualification in that subject or
• aged over 24 and wish to study a qualification at Level 3 or above
The loan is not means-tested and anyone can apply. However, the minimum loan that can be taken
out is £300. This loan starts to be repayable once earned income exceeds £25,000 per year.
Please note: you do not have to apply for a loan; you can pay the fees in full, independently.
For more information about paying for your course, call Brookfield Adult Learning Centre on
01895 556455.
Refunds policy
A 14-day cooling off period applies to all our courses. This means that if you wish to cancel a course,
you must submit your request in writing to the Student Services Manager within 14 days of enrolling.
The cooling off period begins on the day learners enrol on the system. If the course hasn’t started,
the learner will have the right to cancel the course and obtain a full refund.
Where a course starts within the 14-day cooling off period, the refund will be given on a pro-rata
basis based on the number of sessions attended.
Once the cooling off period has expired, Hillingdon Adult and Community Learning (HACL) has no
obligation to make any refund to learners who wish to cancel.
Course cancellations by the service
1. If the course is cancelled by HACL before the start date, a full refund will be given.
2. If a course is closed within two weeks of the course start date, a full refund will be given.
Requests for refunds
1. HACL is unable to give refunds to learners who are absent due to changes in work
commitments, personal or financial circumstances or any other reasons for not being able to
attend the course. Any outstanding direct debits will remain payable by the learner.
2. If a student fails to follow HACL’s policies, including those relating to health and safety,
attendance and behaviour, the learner will be withdrawn from the course and no refund will
be given; any fees outstanding in these circumstances remain payable by the learner.
3. If a learner becomes ill during the period of a course, they may apply for a refund if the
condition prevents them from continuing. Medical evidence will be required in the form of a
doctor's note or equivalent. The learner may apply for a credit note that will permit them to
re-enrol at a later date (credit notes are valid for one year). The refund or credit note will be
calculated on a pro-rata basis from the date of the last class attended. Please note: where a
refund is made, this will be for the tuition fee (on a pro-rata basis); exam fees and materials
costs are not refundable.
HACL reserve the right to refuse a refund to any learner who has a current debt with the service.
If the learner has paid by debit or credit card, refunds will be made to that card. If the learner has
paid by cash or cheque, the refund will be in the form of a cheque issued by Hillingdon Council.

Learning in the community
We are proud to work in partnership with more than 50 local groups and organisations to enable
learning among adults within our diverse communities. Our outreach programmes provide
unique opportunities for residents, who might not otherwise think about joining a course, to take
part in learning that is designed with their particular group in mind. This targeted approach has
proved to be highly successful and adults on these courses tell us they gain new skills, meet
like-minded people and increase their confidence – and most go on to further learning.
Working together, we can:
• draw on our respective strengths
• deliver flexible and improved programmes, which are better aligned with local needs
• strengthen the support we offer for tailor-made provision.
We are always looking to expand our partnership work with local employers, community groups
and organisations. If you’d like to discuss bespoke courses for your employees or service users,
or feel you could benefit from one of our outreach courses, please call us on 01895 556252.

Meet Georgina
Georgina started as a complete beginner on a Creative Writing course in
September 2017. After completing three terms with her tutor, she was
inspired and encouraged to submit her writing to publishers. In October
2018, on the fourth term of her course, Georgina had a short story accepted
for publication in an online journal.
She said: “Coming to these classes has opened up a whole new world of
inspiration, creativity and opportunities to me. I’ve also been volunteering for the Culture Bite
programme in Hillingdon and the courses I’ve studied have helped me develop a greater
interest in literature.”

Meet Kim Kim came to Brookfield Adult Learning Centre to sign up for an English course at an open day in September 2018 after getting information at her local library. While at the open day, Kim also decided to sign up for a counselling course and a course in mindfulness, meditation and self awareness. Kim’s English teacher, Mini, saw Kim's enthusiasm and asked if she was interested in volunteering. Kim applied and then completed training to become a Talk English group leader, running conversation clubs for beginner English learners. To get ready to run her own group, she decided to get experience helping other tutors and began volunteering as an assistant in an English class and a childcare class. Kim then started running her own Talk English group and enjoyed it so much that she took on a second. The learners that Kim works with come from a mix of countries and want to learn English to get confidence to do things like use local transport, communicate with their neighbours, access services and help their children. Some want to get into work and others are working and want to move into better paid work. Kim’s learners gave her a lot of positive feedback on her teaching and this gave her the confidence to join a Level 3 Award in Education and Training course to learn more about teaching adults. Kim has loved her journey in adult learning so far and is keen to keep building her skills and to move on to new opportunities. Enrol online at www.hillingdon.gov.uk/adultlearning 19

So she started helping out in her children's school one morning a week. When the Supporting Teaching and Learning Level 2 Certificate course came up, she decided to take the plunge and sign up. She said: “Children don’t judge you; they take you as you are – and that really inspired me. I'm now shaping children’s future, which is a great place to be. With Hillingdon Adult Learning, I feel like a person, not a number and I am now happily spreading the word to other people, encouraging family and friends to follow their dreams.” Claire is now studying Understanding Behaviour that Challenges Level 2 Certificate. 20 Adult and Community Learning full and part-time courses 2019/2020

Meet Roxana
After qualifying as a teacher, Roxana came to the UK and did further training
to teach here. However, after spending several years out of her profession,
her confidence fell and she began to feel that she was not useful. She felt
unable to apply her skills and knowledge to help other people.
Roxana booked onto a guidance session, where she was encouraged to
support her wellbeing with learning, and she enrolled onto a Boosting
Confidence course. She said: “This was the start of a positive change and, after my first course, I
quickly went on to do a parenting course and then a mindfulness course. After seeing opportunities
for volunteering, I decided to apply for (and was accepted on) a training course at Harlington Adult
Learning Centre, which enabled me to deliver a 15-week Talk English class. I arranged a trip out in
Hayes for my class and one of the learners said it was their best day in England.”

English, Maths and Digital Skills Move your English, maths and digital skills up to the next level with our English and Maths Skills courses. Build your confidence when you practise them in your everyday life. The qualification you achieve will help you progress onto further study and find a good job. This year, we are running additional courses, including some short bridging courses to help you improve your language and digital skills in readiness for qualification courses. When you enrol, we will identify your starting point by giving you a short skills test to make sure you join the most appropriate class at the right level. You will also be able to speak to our tutors about which course is best for you. Call 01895 556252 to book yourself in for an initial assessment and find out how we can support you. Important information about eligibility for ESOL courses Many of our English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses are funded by the ESFA/ GLA and Hillingdon Council. Some courses are free; others may have a fee. Your residency status and your employment status are two elements that tell us whether you will need to pay a fee. We will discuss all this with you when you come for your initial assessment. There is an expectation that you will work towards national qualifications and take the exams at an appropriate time. Call 01895 556252 to book a place on one of our regular advice and guidance sessions to find out more. Develop your Skills for Work Planning to work in or study Childcare, Health and Social Care or other vocational areas? If you have completed the full ESOL E3 qualification, our Skills for Work courses could be perfect for you. The focus will be to develop your skills so you gain the confidence and the ability to achieve the Functional Skills qualifications you will need to progress onto vocational study and work. 26 Adult and Community Learning full and part-time courses 2019/2020
