We have several pathways of courses for Parents/Carers this year, that take place in School in a friendly and safe environment.
All of these pathways can lead to Further Education and Qualifications, or they can be completed for personal information and confidence building.
Each pathway consists of several small courses that follow on and build up to a comprehensive portfolio of information and knowledge.
If you are interested in any of the courses available, please contact Sandra (details below). We need a minimum number of learners to enable us to access these free courses, which are being offered in very few places in the Birmingham area. If you know of someone else who might also be interested, please do pass this information on to them.
Please note that all of these courses are currently FREE of charge, regardless of income.
