2 Welcome look for the symbol I am delighted to introduce our new range of courses from September. We ve got something for everybody, adults, young people, families, businesses and community organisations. There are courses here which will help you keep your skills up to date, improve them to gain employment, move on at work, work in new areas or support self employment. You will be able to move on to further study and gain confidence for these difficult times. We think it is important to balance this with the buzz of learning something new or doing something you have never done before. We want to help you to learn, enjoy and succeed. We like to trial new courses and this year you could try horticulture or hairdressing. There are also important new ways to fund level 3 courses, including our successful access courses which could take you to university (see page 4). We look forward to hearing from you and getting started.
