Falkirk Council's Community Education Service runs a range of free adult learning courses. The following courses are examples of programmes that have been tailored to suit the needs of learners. Courses are locally based and arranged at times to suit the learner with free crèche available, where appropriate. Most programmes run for two hours a week within school times although evening provision can also be arranged. All our courses and programmes are delivered in a relaxed, non formal atmosphere making it fun to learn.
