Family Learning courses are fully funded for parents, carers and families, so they are free for Northamptonshire residents aged 19 or over.​

Find out about other qualifications  in English, Maths, IT, ESOL and work related qualifications on the Essential Skills page.

Family Learning courses are either face-to-face or online. Resources and worksheets for all courses are on Google Classroom.  Online, the sessions take place on Google Meet.

The course page and your course information sheet will state the course venue.

​Courses can be from one to twelve weekly sessions. Live sessions are normally 1 to 1.5 hours long, with a scheduled contact hour between sessions.

You will get much more out of your course if you expect to do some homework between sessions.

For online courses you will need internet access and a Gmail address and password for Google Classroom.

If extra resources are needed, we usually provide them free to you in the live session or by home delivery. Your course information sheet will also tell you what you need to bring.
