  Community Education


Community Education(CE)
in Edinburgh provides learning opportunities to individuals, families, interest groups and communities that are working to improve the quality of their lives

We provide a full range of adult classes, including leisure and certificated courses.

There are groups which cater for people returning to learning, those who want to improve their skills for employment, those interested in practising healthy lifestyles or those interested in becoming involved in their local community

We offer free tuition for people who want to improve their reading, writing or numeracy skills.

We strive to provide inclusive educational opportunities. Information is available on access and every effort is made to support learners with disabilities. Free crèches are available in many venues.

A translation service for community languages, Braille or large print format is available more
