Return to learning

A partnership programme for adults who want to rediscover learning, built around local groups and practical goals.

Return to Learning is delivered in co operation with Galway County Council. It is aimed at adults who may not have considered further education, including people in rural communities and those who left school early.

What it offers

  • A welcoming introduction to learning in a local venue.
  • Literacy, numeracy and digital skills.
  • Confidence building and study skills.
  • Information about further education and local services.
  • A route into other programmes where the learner wishes to continue.

Local groups

Groups have run in Loughrea and Tuam in the east, and in Gort in the west. The programme is responsive to local demand, so contact the office to ask what is planned near you.

Who it is for

Adults who want a supported first step. You do not need a qualification or a clear career plan. The programme starts with where you are and helps you identify what you would like to do next.

How to join

Phone the office and ask about Return to Learning. Staff will explain the current venue, time and any eligibility requirements. Places are usually limited so that the group can be well supported.
