‘Taster’ activities or short accredited courses

Try out something new!

Whatever your interest you could find a free or subsidised course to help you explore it and decide whether to take it further.

As a Partnership we are not offering a free tasters programme during 2011-12. However you may be interested in short accredited courses which provide a stepping stone to a full qualification without the heavy time commitment required for a full qualification. Click here for more information.
