Community Education

Burleigh is Loughborough’s Community College and each year thousands of local people use our facilities.

The College caters for all ages and most interests and we are one of the country’s largest providers of community education.

We have a large adult education programme catering for 2,000 adults per year. In addition we have created a partnership with East Midlands Technical Training to deliver electrical installation courses. We are a UK On-Line Centre and the town's

Open University Study Centre. We are also a venue for the WEA for courses and a Test Centre for the British Computer Society (BCS) and the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).

As well as the onsite and online courses we also deliver courses at other venues within businesses. For example we have a partnership agreement to provide British Sign Lanaguage courses for East Midlands Trains at their stations for all levels of employees such as Ticket Office staff and Drivers.

If you are looking to provide on-site training for your employees then please contact the Community Manager or Director of Support Services in the first instance.

Burleigh has a playgroup, over 1000 children attend our sport coaching and childrens swimming, badminton, gymnastics and multi-sport sessions.

In September 2006 we launched the children's Burleigh Dance Academy.
