We believe Wolverhampton is one of the most diverse and forward looking communities in Britain. In Wolverhampton's Adult Education Service (WAES), we aim to reflect these qualities throughout our courses.

In January 2009, Ofsted inspectors judged Wolverhampton to be amongst the highest performing Services in the country. They assessed the overall effectiveness and quality of provision, the capacity to improve, the achievement and standards, and the leadership and management to be good. To ensure that you continue to receive this high quality provision, we have well qualified experienced tutors, small friendly groups, and advice and support for you when you need it.

We have strong roots in the community and we have built partnerships with employers and schools. We can therefore offer courses throughout the City, often with other providers, at 80 venues. These venues include the flagship Learning Quarter in the City as well as many small local community buildings.

In a period of flux such as we are now experiencing, we all need help in adapting to meet the challenges ahead. The range of courses is therefore wider than ever to help you to learn for personal fulfillment, to improve your health and well-being or to gain skills and qualifications for employment.
