What is Neighbourhood Learning?
If you live in Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Northampton or Rushden, you may be eligible for free adult learning courses (there may be a small charge to cover materials).
Courses are either two hour 'Bitesize' sessions or short 'Taster' sessions of five weekly two-hour sessions.
