Adult Classes
Burleigh is the Loughborough Community College and each year thousands of local people attend our adult classes.
Adults enrol for a number of reasons: to improve on their IT skills; to obtain extra qualifications and enhance job prospects; to learn a new skill for a hobby or to undertake DIY; to have a good night out, enjoy themselves and perhaps make new friends.
Adults choose Burleigh because we are a local friendly college that offers a wide range of subjects and achieve excellent results. We aim to ensure that our adult students not only achieve high standards but also have fun.
Burleigh is fortunate in having very good facilities. We have excellent computing and sport facilities, highly resourced workshops, comfortable classrooms and a licensed bar is open in the evening for adult students to relax in while they are not studying.
