We've had a fabulous Winter Term at Barrow Adult Learning, with lots of happy learners achieving qualifications and improving their Maths, English, Digital, Employability and Health & Wellbeing Skills!
We're very pleased to announce the arrival of a couple of new additions to the team in 2024, both of whom bring a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Firstly, we'd like to introduce our new manager, *Rachael Ward-Penn.
*Rachael has taught in Secondary Education previously and wanted to embrace a new challenge in her home town of Barrow.
She has a passion for working with the local community, and is looking forward to welcoming new learners as they upskill and improve!

Something new for Spring!
*We have a number of new courses starting this Spring, designed to appeal to a range of learners at both beginner and intermediate level.*
Firstly, we are running an *Excel for Beginners* course.
This is a great course for anyone who is a beginner to the Excel world and would like to improve their skills and knowledge for work or everyday life.
The course is starting on *Friday 19th April* *10-12pm* at Barrow Library and will run for 4 weeks.
If you would like to progress your knowledge of Excel, you may be interested in the *Excel for Improvers* course.
This course will build on the knowledge gained in the beginners course, up to an intermediate level.

Information, Advice and Guidance
Adult Learning has a duty of care to provide potential learners with impartial information, advice and guidance. We aim to help you make informed decisions about the suitability of any study programme to meet your needs and aspirations.
This plays a role in making sure that you enrol on a course that suits your need best at that point in time. It is based on looking your individual needs and mutually agreeing the best way forward to you; we hope to be able to support you through our extensive range of courses, however, this may actually involve us advising that another provider can support you better at that point in time.
