Welcome to our summer
course programme
As well as our regular art and crafts, languages
and fitness courses, we have a host of short
workshops and taster sessions to tempt you
this summer. See pages 3 and 4 for details.
We are also gearing up for the next academic
year, with information sessions for some
of our larger qualification courses that start
in September. If you are looking for professional
development in your current role or to move into a new career,
take a look at what we can offer on pages 9 and 10.
If you don’t have maths, English or IT qualifications and this is
holding you back, we can help with that too, and most courses are
FREE. See pages 11 and 12 for details.
Go Green with our Festival
of Learning!
June sees the start of our Festival
of Learning celebrations and the
theme this year is Go Green Derbyshire to tie in with Derbyshire
County Council’s campaign to get everyone doing their bit for the
environment.
Look out for events and workshops in this brochure with the
logo.

DIY wedding workshops
Weddings can be a huge expense, but they don’t have to be. Our DIY
wedding workshops will help you keep down the costs by planning and
doing a lot of the work yourself (with help from friends and family!).
You will also be doing your bit for the environment by using less stuff
that will get thrown away afterwards.
