Darnall Forum Can Help You Learn English or IT, Or Get Your CV On-Line and Apply for Jobs By Email

ADULT COMMUNITY LEARNING AT DARNALL FORUM
Once again we are running adult community learning courses at Darnall Post Office and at the Church of Christ, Living Waters and the Staniforth Neighbourhood Centre in Darnall.
In September we hope to offer
·     ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Entry Level 1, 2  and 3, and Level 1 and 2.
·     IT courses in a range of subjects at Levels 1 and 2, including wordprocessing, spreadsheets and desktop publishing.
This will depend on Council funding and on who the Council asks to deliver adult community learning courses in Darnall next term.
There are also some places available NOW on IT courses at Tinsley One Stop Shop on Bawtry Road near Meadowhall.
