Welcome to our autumn 2020
course programme
Welcome to our autumn brochure. We have a wide range of courses for you to
enjoy through the winter months, both in our centres and online. For your
information we are following the latest guidance to provide a safe environment
for all adult community education centre users. You will find detailed
information on pages 4 to 6. Make sure you check the current alert levels and
guidance (Find out the coronavirus restrictions in a local area – GOV.UK)
before signing up/travelling to your course.
This brochure covers learning for leisure courses across the whole of
Derbyshire, and online. Our online courses are at a discounted price and this
is an ideal time to learn something new. If you haven’t tried online learning
before, give it a go! You will find the same warm welcome and opportunities
to socialise. We are sure you will enjoy the experience and you will receive
plenty of support.
Our Nearpod courses are FREE online workshops that you can work through
at your own pace during a 30 day period.
Have a look at our wonderful festive courses on page 31 to help you prepare
for the holiday period with everything from tree decorations to truffles. Lots of
inspiration for presents, decorations and a chance to get creative.
Our range of environmental courses can help you make informed decisions,
and get creative in re-using and recycling. Have you thought about using
natural options to clean your house? See page 21 for more information.
We are sure you will find something new and interesting to try and we are
looking forward to welcoming you back.
All courses are offered subject to the appropriate COVID-19 precautions
being in place to ensure your safety. There may be changes to the
advertised courses as we respond to the latest government guidelines.
For the most up to date information on what is
happening, please visit our website, follow
us on Facebook or Twitter or sign

Education
