Free adult training courses
‘Free courses covering digital skills, health and wellbeing, foreign languages and more are now available for adult learners in Plymouth and surrounding areas.
The courses are being provided by On Course South West, (part of the Council) to help adults achieve personal goals, support their wellbeing or develop confidence and abilities in both their personal and working lives.
There are 55 course options, all delivered through online learning platforms used successfully by On Course South West tutors and learners since March.
A focus on skills is a key part of our Resurgam economic recovery plan and the courses will feature on Skills Launchpad Plymouth, the one-stop service helping local people equip themselves with the skills and confidence they will need to play a part in the city’s future.
It supports those who are facing redundancy through the Adult Hub and offers targeted support for young people through the Youth Hub.
