Academy:

Introduction:
Our Adult Continuing Education (ACE) programmes are short leisure courses. They are ideal if you want to learn new skills, pursue an interest, have fun, and find out more about a particular subject without the stress of exams.

This is a non-pressurised course which provides the opportunity to look at ways to build your confidence, and understand the benefits of assertive behaviour. It aims to help you communicate with confidence, learn the difference between assertive, aggressive and passive behaviour, and learn about the irrational beliefs we hold about ourselves. By learning assertiveness techniques and honing your skils, you will become more confident in all areas of your life.

ACE courses are funded by Lancashire Adult Learning.
