Free courses


There are many free courses to help support your own personal development.

There are courses on offer at a variety of different levels so there is something for everyone. These include those to develop skills in literacy or numeracy, like Improve Your Maths Skills Today from National Numeracy.

These courses can be completed locally, either in preparation for an apprenticeship or to become more confident in using language or working with numbers, either for work or personal development.

Check out the courses available in your area.

Other free courses are available to anyone looking to increase their employability, gain new knowledge or prepare for study. Perhaps you're looking to move into another sector, retrain for employment, increase confidence in digital learning, gain study skills, or want to learn more about a subject that’s important to you.

There are hundreds available at the home of free learning from the Open University (OpenLearn) with options to do a short entry course, or more extended detailed study. The choice is yours!
