Adult Learning & Numeracy
Would you like to improve your skills in reading, writing and numbers?
This section is for anyone aged 16 or above who lives, works or studies in Glasgow and wants to find out about help with reading, writing, spelling or numbers.
Maybe you know someone else who you think could benefit from some help? Whatever the reason, there is a range of free adult literacy and numeracy learning programmes waiting to be discovered. Adult literacy and numeracy learning is designed to meet individual needs and takes place in community venues across the city.
Adults want to improve their skills for a range of reasons, including getting better at:
-
filling in forms
-
helping children with homework
-
understanding bills and bank statements
-
skills for work
-
understanding information to open doors to new opportunities
-
and many more
Some learning providers also offer qualifications.
The benefits of developing literacies skills and having the confidence to use them can be far reaching and life changing. In addition to developing skills, many adult learners also tell us that their confidence, health and well-being has improved, helping them to live fuller lives.
To find out where you can get help with reading, writing and numbers, search our online database or contact our Freephone helpline on 0800 027 6402.
Getting the message out about ALN learning
There is a need for us all to work together to make sure that adults are aware of these learning opportunities. Adult literacies providers and support organisations are able to access a range of promotional materials which encourage adults to take up learning and give support staff information on how to make a referral.
