<p>If you are new to Adult Education and are thinking about developing your number skills why not come along to one of our open days, if you have access to the internet, visit our website and make an enquiry online (link at the bottom of the page). Or, if you are an existing student sitting your exam this year and wish to progress to the next level, please speak to your teacher directly.</p>

<p>Once you have submitted your enquiry or online application, you will undertake a skills check and speak to a teacher to place you on the most appropriate level course. Make sure you bring your ID or residency evidence with you to the session.</p>
