ICT Courses in Community Venues

As well as offering computer courses at our Wood Green Learning Centre, HALS is committed to delivering a wide range of learning opportunities at other community venues. The courses can be purely for enjoyment but can also give you skills and ideas for new areas of employment. We offer tasters and courses leading to qualifications in local schools, libraries, community centres and purpose built learning centres. These include:

In the year ahead we are planning to start offering courses at these venues:

Northumberland Park Learning Resource Centre
St. Ann's Community Hall
Association House.

Courses run throughout the year. Please contact us to check the start date and venue.
