Adult Education Department starts new courses in 2011

Funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation, the adult education programme at Amana has been a great success.
The department came to being in June 2006 when Somali migrants were settling in Bristol in large numbers.
Three years on and having secured the appropriate funding for a three-year period our education department is well on the way to achieving great results. We have formed some very positive partnerships and will continue in this vein while identifying further training and provision to suit the needs of the community.

“At present we are working with at least 70 Somali adults. Next year we are hoping to start accredited Level Two courses which will include Teaching Assistant and ESOL classes,” said Geoff, manager of the Adult Education department.

The departemnt is opening a wide range of courses which aims to benefit young and matured adult students gain expertise in numeracy, language and vocational courses. The courses will commence from early next year. Please get in touch with us to book a place.
