Family Learning
The Family Learning service provides a wide selection of courses, workshops and family fun days for mums, dads, grandparents, carers and their children.
We are enrolling for courses starting in January 2021 now!
Parents are able to learn or improve their English, Maths, ICT, Employability and Parenting skills. The service also supports parents by guiding them through their child’s education and helping their children to do even better at school.
You can join a Family Learning course at one of the many sites across the borough including schools, nurseries and children’s centres during weekdays and at Newham Adult Learning Centres. In the autumn term 2020 in addition we are delivering Family Learning via Zoom where you can learn from home (see below). There are also activities during half term and summer holidays in libraries and in Newham Adult Learning Centres.
Adult attendees can continue onto another course within the Family Learning or Newham Adult Learning services or take up volunteering or employment.
To book one of our Zoom courses, please browse the selection of courses below, select 'Enrol now', then continue to fill out the enrolment form, and one of our Business Support Officers will be in touch.

Course Delivery Method
This academic year NALS will be delivering courses in multiple ways, so that learners can choose how and when they learn. Listed beside each course is how the course will be taught:
[BLD] – These courses will be taught by our qualified Tutors direct to Learners via Zoom. Tutors may also use email to send course information or to set homework. Learners will enjoy face to face contact with the Tutor and other learners plus tutorials and independent study. Lessons times are set, but learners are able to wear comfy clothes whilst learning from the comfort of their own home!
[CBS] – Our classroom based and streamed courses are delivered within our Covid-19 secure centres, where social distancing measures have been put in place. Class sizes in the centres are small and have been developed so that learners can study at a safe distance from other learners. On some courses students will be put into groups where they attend can centre in person one session but join the class from home via Zoom the next.
[OL] – Online Learning programme – our popular online learning programme is back and is offering lots courses where learners can study at their own pace. Our programme offer this year will be creative, and thought provoking, and can help you develop a new skill. New Online Learning courses are added regularly – keep checking back for new courses!
