Informal Learning Works: An innovative study of adult learning in Torbay

This study was developed by South Devon College as part of its Partnership activity, with sponsorship from the Partnership.
It concludes that Adult Education is a starting point for vulnerable people as much as for others in society, can develop a variety of useful skills, and provides valuable experience of learning and working in a group which helps keep body and mind healthy – thus helping to prevent social and economic exclusion, mental ill-health and community breakdown.

Learn Devon 2

Following the success of the Learn Devon project, which finished on 31 March 2010, we are planning to offer a wider range of short courses in 2010-11. Many of these will provide credits towards the Qualification and Credit Framework, so that you can go on afterwards to pick up further credits and achieve a full qualification. All of the courses we support will have to provide a clear route forward on to a qualification within this Framework. If you would like to offer courses as part of this project, click here.

Year 1 of the Learn Devon 2 project is nearing completion – clickhere for the provisional Evaluation Report and look out for future updates.

Year 2 delivery commences in October and we will be advertising short courses which will provide credits towards the Qualifications and Credit Framework which can then be used towards a full qualification.
