Adult Education

We hope that you find this 2011/2012 edition of the Adult Education Prospectus of interest and we would like to welcome you to join one or more of our courses.

Around 3000 people enrol on Adult Education courses every year. Committed, hardworking and highly motivated, they are a source of great pride to the Guernsey College of Further Education and of mutual support to each other. Our team of over 120 tutors are conscientious and dedicated with a keenness to share their skills and expertise.

We accept enrolments from people aged 16 and upwards. Our students come from all walks of life and professions, and their reasons for coming to Adult Education are just as varied. Many have full-time jobs and families to support and are looking for an additional qualification or seeking to develop a new skill or interest. Others are attracted by our leisure courses as a way to relax from work, or to enjoy their retirement. Whatever the reason and whatever the course, we trust your experience of adult education courses is both enjoyable and enriching.

We are constantly reviewing our service to you and should you have any suggestions for new courses or how our service may be enhanced, we would be pleased to hear from you.

I look forward to welcoming you to Adult Education in the forthcoming academic year.

Message from the Principal: Trevor Wakefield

There are many people in Guernsey who are unable to achieve their full potential because they missed out on literacy skills in their youth, for a variety of reasons. The Guernsey Adult Literacy Project (GALP) was established four years ago to provide those adults with opportunities to develop their literacy skills.

This year our main fund-raiser is the Donkey Parade which we are hoping is going to be a fabulous community art project which will put smiles on lots of faces as well as raising funds for GALP. We are delighted that we can feature the Donkey Parade as the front cover for the Adult Education Prospectus.
