Get learning this autumn
Tuesday 19 August 2008
The Haringey Adult Learning Service (HALS) programme for September to December 2008 is now out, with a wide range of day, evening and weekend courses to meet personal and professional development learning needs.
Subjects range from business, finance and computing to English, maths, literacy and numeracy, plus languages, arts classes and yoga.
There are family learning sessions as well, apprenticeships and entry to employment programmes for young people, Train to Gain and customised staff training packages for businesses. Three learn direct centres provide an alternative, flexible option for learning.
Cllr Dhiren Basu, Haringey cabinet member for leisure, culture and lifelong learning, said:
"We want everyone in Haringey to fulfil their potential, and these courses are a fantastic way to improve your skills and gain useful qualifications. I hope everyone will take a look at what is on offer."
Courses are held at Wood Green Library, White Hart Lane learning centre by Woodside School, Northumberland Park Resource Centre, Northumberland Park School, Highgate library, Hornsey library and Greig City Academy. All venues are accessible, and courses in other venues including other Haringey libraries may be arranged through the year.
Autumn enrolment sessions run from 2 to 13 September. For some courses you can enrol online or by post, and there are term time advice and enrolment sessions as well.
Term dates are 15 September to 13 December (half-term 27 October to 1 November).
There is a ten per cent fees discount for Haringey library members, and a wide range of other concessionary reductions available.
The course brochure is now available in libraries and HALS centres, or online at www.haringey.gov.uk/hals. Call 020 8489 2500 / 8781 for more information.
