Community learning courses

Customer update on coronavirus

All classroom sessions have been suspended, in line with the announcement about schools.

We are currently working on plans to deliver online learning, so that community education can continue to support people, communities and well-being. We will keep you updated as we develop our plans for alternative delivery.

Bracknell Open Learning Centre is now closed to the public and for bookings.

Our courses

We offer opportunities to discover learning for pleasure, inspiration, health, well-being and personal development. Our programme includes computer skills, arts, crafts, cookery and much more.

Courses are open to everyone over 19, so please let your friends and family know.
