Adult and other education covers learning and training for people beyond compulsory school age, including adults returning to study, changing careers or developing personal interests. Providers may be colleges, training centres, community organisations or independent tutors. Courses can be delivered in classrooms, online, at workplaces or through a mix of formats, and may be part-time, intensive or arranged around work and caring responsibilities. Typical provision includes English and maths, English for speakers of other languages, digital skills, vocational qualifications, workplace training and preparation for professional exams. Courses may also cover languages, arts and crafts, cookery, health and wellbeing, or other leisure subjects. Providers can offer advice on choosing a course, assess learners' existing skills, teach practical or theoretical content, and in some cases prepare students for recognised qualifications.
