A new year calls for a new you! Instead of convincing yourself that this will be the year you finally hit the gym, why not sign up for an Adult Learning course at York College instead?
York College offers a variety of courses in a range of subjects to ensure there is something for everyone. Whether your ‘new year, new me’ ethos involves finding your dream job, learning new skills or simply meeting new friends, enrolling on one of our courses is your first step towards achieving that goal.
If you’ve always wanted to pick up a language but never quite had the time, we will be running evening classes in Spanish, Italian and British Sign Language from January onwards. Similarly, our wide range of construction courses means no more excuses for putting off those home improvement plans.
“I had had doubts as anyone might when trying something new, stepping out of their comfort zone, but around 15 minutes into my first class these doubts were replaced by certainty and confidence that I was where I should be, and doing what I should be.”
Neil Henderson – Level 1 Award in Creative Crafts (Furniture Making) student
