Adult Learning

We take adult learning very seriously and want to give residents, communities and businesses the opportunity to learn and acquire new skills and qualifications to improve life chances and to narrow the skills gap in Peterborough.  We aim to develop and co-ordinate local learning opportunities to have a positive impact on personal, working and community life.  This works towards Peterborough City Council's vision of “growing the right way towards a bigger and better Peterborough".   Peterborough City Council is committed to equality and diversity throughout all its functions.
