South Ayrshire Council News

The Carrick Buildings Learning Centre will host an open day this Wednesday (15 September) to highlight the fantastic new curriculum now on offer for 2010/11 and to provide the opportunity for attendees to book places on the courses available – many of which are free.

A wide variety of courses are on offer from an impressive list of providers including South Ayrshire Council, University of Glasgow, Dumfries & Galloway College, John McKenna (Sculptor), Make it Happen Arts Group, Scottish Agricultural College, Ayr College and Stepping Stones for Families.

Courses range from arts and culture (sketching, clay modelling, tourism talks) to helping you find work (customer care courses, cabin crew course, site safety awareness) with lots more in between.

There are courses to help improve literacy and numeracy, classes to help improve health and wellbeing, talks to help you find out more about your local environment, sessions to help improve computer skills (from basic to advanced) and teaching in food and hospitality.

There is something for everyone regardless of age, skills or abilities and each course provides the opportunity to learn a new skill, make new friends and have fun.

To find out more, drop in to the Carrick Buildings Learning Centre between 10am and 4pm on Wednesday 15 September. Alternatively, you can call 01465 716600 or email cblc@south-ayrshire.gov.uk.
