Festival of Learning

We’re proud to be part of the Festival of Learning

The Festival of Learning is a national campaign celebrating adult learners’ achievements and their available learning opportunities.

The festival promotes the benefits of lifelong learning and supports adults aged 19 and over in discovering their passion. Whether aiming to learn essential skills, upskill and reskill for your career, or finally pursue that hobby – there’s something for everyone, regardless of age or level (whether it’s beginner to higher education).

Need help to find the right course? Contact the National Careers Service on 0800 100 900.

As part of our support for the Festival of Learning we have created a calendar of events and taster sessions taking place across the Leeds City region.
