Adult & Online Courses

ENROL NOW FOR ADULT CLASSES

Classes take place during the day and evening and once again there are new courses available, as well as old favourites. I am sure that you will find something that interests you. Our tutors are experienced and fully qualified, and work within well-resourced and equipped classrooms. We also have a cafe bar where you can socialise with your fellow students.

Here at Burleigh, we are very proud of our community programme, not least because we receive no public funding to run our courses. The cost of the programme is met partly by course fees but also by charitable grant and other income generation. Because of this, it is important that we provide a range of activities that are suitable and in which the local community wishes to participate. Without your continued support, we wouldn't have a community programme here at Burleigh and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for this.

If you have any suggestions about how we might improve what we are doing or if there are any activities you would like us to provide, please let me know. You can contact me either by telephone on the main College number 01509 554400, or by email at lfish@burleigh.leics.sch.uk .
