Paul HumphreysI hold a BA (Hons) in International Studies with the OU and an MA (Merit) in International Relations (IR) with Anglia Ruskin University. I am currently a doctoral research student with Brunel University researching the effects of the H.M. Governments PREVENT counter-terrorism strategy on professionals working in public welfare services. I have studied geopolitical events for many years and have always found it a fascinating subject. In terms of IR I am a adherent of the realist school of thought. I think a good understanding of IR has never been so important, because the current global order is in a state of flux and the West is facing the distinct possibility of decline and being eclipsed by a rising East Asia led by China.

READ MORE
Creative Writing for Beginners is an eight week course that revolves around exploring the skills and craft of writing fiction. Writing stories for personal pleasure has become a popular pastime again as has writing poetry to post online for others to read and take inspiration from. During the recent pandemic and various lockdowns many of us sought out purposeful activities that can be done anywhere at any time and that require a minimum investment in new equipment (when it comes to creative writing the bare necessities are only paper and a pen/pencil). Engaging in creative pursuits has also been found to relieve anxiety and promote good mental health by providing a focus for concentrated thought. It doesn’t matter whether you want to write as an end it itself or to write with the intention of sharing your work with a wider audience, the well-being benefits come from engaging in the act of harnessing your creative energy. Although as with every craft the more accomplished the finished result, the more appreciation and enjoyment gained.
Creative Writing for Beginners will help you feel more confident in your abilities to communicate your ideas and will also give you the opportunity to experiment in a safe environment with different forms of storytelling to find which gives you the most satisfaction and creative enjoyment. Throughout the course you will learn about putting the skills and craft of storytelling into practice by working on a short story, a piece of memoir, a poem, and examining forms such genre fiction, plays and screenwriting. The emphasis is on having a go and learning by doing because there has never been a writer who cannot improve their work by rewriting in the light of feedback given and knowledge or experience gained (even Shakespeare crossed things out and had another go at finding the right word to convey exactly what he intended). Creative Writing for Beginners can’t promise to turn you into a great playwright, but it will give you plenty of opportunities to better appreciate and implement the skills necessary for successful storytelling whilst having fun playing with language along the way.
By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to:
None.
None.
Pen/pencil and paper.

This workshop of how to draft a bodice is particularly great if you want to start making your own designs or if you struggle to get commercial sewing patterns to fit.
It will teach you how to create a bodice block to fit your own body measurements. Taking measurements and plotting these onto pattern paper you’ll create a simple sewing pattern that will then be made up in fabric and will fit your shape perfectly.
This pattern / sloper can then be used as a basis when creating your own sewing patterns or as a guide when adapting commercial sewing patterns. We will also discuss how adjustments to the basic block can create different garment styles.
Pattern drafting paper will be provided and instruction worksheets are supplied so that you can repeat the process again in your own time if needed for yourself and others.
Previous dressmaking experience is beneficial to get the most out of the workshop.
By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to:
What you will need to bring will be a calculator (one on a phone is fine), pencil, paper scissors, ruler, tape measure, half a meter of calico or other non stretch fabric to make a toile of the bodice. A sewing machine, fabric scissors and thread.

Starting in November. Day and Time: Wednesday 9.30 – 11.45 am
Functional skills are practical skills in English that allow learners to work confidently, effectively and independently in life. These courses are not suitable for learning English as a foreign language.
The classes are generally small, delivered to suit your starting point and assessments are offered through City and Guilds after 55 hours teaching. You will need to complete an initial assessment prior to starting the course, where it will be discussed if you meet the criteria for a funded place.

The course runs term-time (no classes during school holidays) from November 2023 until the end of May 2024; English Functional Skills has three parts to the assessment – Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening – you will sit all parts of assessment by the end of the course.
This course will be held face to face in centre.
The course is fully funded by Cambridgeshire Skills – full attendance is required. You will complete an enrolment form, so that funding can be applied for; you will also need to provide your National Insurance number and show a form of photographic ID (passport, driving licence etc.). Failure to meet these criteria means that funding is withdrawn and you will be liable for the full cost of the course. You will be assessed through the lessons and by homework.
No previous experience required. All learners are required to complete an initial assessment / screening of English levels prior to enrolment on the course – please telephone the office on 01223 712340 to make an appointment.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Do you need to update your CV? Did you not achieve your English qualification through school? Are you 19 years old or over?
This is a one year course that will enable you to take the GCSE exam in May/June 2024 (Dates TBC by exam board).
The exams consist of two papers, Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing and Writers’ viewpoints and perspectives. Both are worth 50%. There is also a non-examination assessment in spoken language.
It is also necessary to give a presentation or speech.
The funding is given to enable you to gain a grade 4 or above, within one academic year (equivalent to the old C grade). There is no tier for English GCSE so all grades are available.
This course starts in September 2023. Day and Time: Thursday 6.00 – 8.30 pm. Venue: Coleridge Community College.
Each week regular homework will be given which is directly linked to the class session and completion of this will enable you to make sense of the class work and for you to prepare for the exams. Good organisation will help you to get the most from the course. You will need to keep notes, be able to proofread and check writing tasks for errors and to speak in front of others in an assessed environment. Classes are informal and work very much on a communal basis where all are invited to share their viewpoints and ideas.
This is a challenging exam, and you must already be proficient at correctly using punctuation, grammar and spellings.
The course runs the whole year. Weekday sessions are 2.5 hours long, Saturdays are 5 hours long; attendance in the evening and on the allocated Saturdays is mandatory. There will be (up to) thirty evening sessions and five Saturdays.
A full schedule of confirmed dates will be given on the first session; we will do our best not to change any dates, but this occasionally happens due to unforeseen circumstances.
Saturday dates: 14th October 2023, 2nd December 2023, 10th February 2024, 23rd March 2024, 18th May 2024.
PLUS 20 hours mandatory online content
GCSE English is expected to take between 120 and 140 hours of study – you will attend taught classes for 100 hours, face to face in centre and complete an additional 20 hours mandatory on-line/homework tasks which will be marked and are a compulsory part of the course.
Some of you will need to spend more time self-studying to bring your skills up to the required level.
The course is fully funded by Cambridgeshire Skills – full attendance is required. You will complete an enrolment form, so that funding can be applied for; you will also need to provide your National Insurance number and show a form of photographic ID (passport, driving licence etc.). Failure to meet these criteria means that funding is withdrawn and you will be liable for the full cost of the course.
PLEASE NOTE: The final GCSE exams will take place during the day at Coleridge Community College. The dates are published by the exam board and all candidates must sit the exam then – expect to book leave / holiday from work / childcare as needed for the exam dates. Provisional dates are: Thursday 23/5/24 (morning) and Thursday 6/6/24 (morning). These will be confirmed by the exam board in due course.
Candidates should have studied English to Functional Skills Level 2 or have a recent GCSE Grade D (or equivalent). Please speak to the office if you have O-levels / CSEs or qualifications from outside the UK. All learners are required to complete an initial assessment / screening of English levels prior to enrolment on the course – please telephone the office on 01223 712340 to make an appointment.
If the assessor feels this course is not suitable in the initial assessment period they will signpost learners to alternative, more appropriate courses.
The exam board has very specific requirements for those who need access arrangements for exams (additional time, laptops, modified papers). It is your responsibility to provide the relevant supporting documents to the office if you require additional time or access arrangements for exams. Please note such arrangements are only granted for 3 years (by JCQ), and those granted by universities are not valid for GCSE exams.
By the end of the whole year course you will have the opportunity to:
• Take the GCSE Exam in English Language
• Express yourself well when speaking
• Structure and plan your writing effectively
• Read actively and critically, reading for meaning and subtlety
Pens, pencils, highlighters, A4 lined paper and a ring binder
Examination costs will be included in the cost of the course.

I’ve taught children and adults at various levels, both individually and in groups, for about six years in the UK, South America most recently China. I believe group participation and involvement is paramount when learning any new skill and try to incorporate these into my classes, hopefully with an element of fun. I hope to become a useful addition to an excellent educational team, guiding and helping students to achieve their communication goals.

Our English for work courses are suitable for learners where English is not their first language.
This online course is aimed at learners who have a good intermediate level of English but, because of limited English ability, struggle with certain aspects of their jobs, or even to get a job.
This course is taught online. To participate in online classes you will need an email address, a reliable internet connection, a computer/laptop/tablet with fully updated browser (preferably Google Chrome).
You will need to attend the online course on both days – Wednesday and Thursday at the specified time.
You will gain confidence, improve your listening and written and spoken English. These skills will improve your chances of gaining employment, or to move up into a job with better pay and prospects. Part of the course will be based on the needs of individual learners; and this will be discussed in the first lesson. You will also learn about UK work culture, how it may differ from other countries, and the course will answer some of the questions you might have about the differences between your way of life and what you see around you in the UK.
Your English skills will define the jobs you can apply for in the UK, and improving those skills will help, not only in this country, but will greatly improve your employability and promotion prospects should you later return to your home country.
Poor English skills can have serious consequences – from language misunderstandings that can cause the loss of money or angry clients, to constant embarrassment at not being able to chat with clients and colleagues in a social context or even over lunch! You may be seen as unfriendly, or rude, which is also not good for your career.
The course is funded per term; you may find, as most learners do, that you will need more than one term to be prepared for any higher level courses or future exams (if you choose to enter for them). If this is the case you will be offered the opportunity to re-enrol and pay for another term (or if still available we may be able to fund you again)
If you are 19 or over, have lived in an EU country / the UK for 3 or more years and are at the right level, full funding is available. You will need to supply proof of identity and full attendance is required; you will also need to complete an enrolment form so that the office can apply for the funding and complete an individual learning plan weekly with your tutor.
If you are not eligible for funding but would benefit from the course, you can attend by paying a tuition fee of £290 (£174 concession) per 10 week term.
If you have not recently passed the PET exam, an assessment test will be needed for placement purposes. To book an appointment, call the office on 01223 712340 or email office@adultlearning.education
By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to:
The tutor will advise in the first lesson
A notebook and pen and pencil.
The college has many English for work levels, talk with your tutor who will advise you.
The Adult Learn and Train office is able to give course information or search for alternative courses for you.
Assessment before booking is ESSENTIAL. Please contact the office 01223 712340 to discuss funding and for an assessment.

READ MORE
Recent events have taught us that sometimes we need to be able to express ourselves or occupy ourselves in new ways. Sometimes just for fun but sometimes to remain healthy. This course will offer learners the chance to challenge themselves, overcome obstacles through problem solving skills, find new means of expression (or develop existing ones). This can be done through the creation of artworks. In addition to this the record of a journey of development in the form of a journal can provide a useful and inspirational tool for personal expression and exploration of ideas. Combining these two closely connected practices will enable learners to develop confidence through step by step achievement of goals and milestones and improve their outlook by building a set of skills appropriate to them as individuals.
This course is funded by Cambridgeshire Skills, so full attendance is required; you will also need to complete an enrolment form so that the office can apply for the funding and complete an individual learning plan weekly with your tutor.
This course may be fully funded if:
You are over 19 years old
You live within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough combined authority
and have lived in the UK / an EEA country for the last 3 years.
Contact the office if you would like to confirm your eligibility.
If you do not qualify for funding but would still like to attend contact the office for a price.

This is a wonderful course of facial pampering and wellbeing, incorporating Face Yoga, Gua Sha and Acupressure.
All the combined feel-good methods to really enhance our overall wellbeing.
Face Yoga which lifts and firms the skin. It also oxygenates the skin, brightens the skins, reducing tension from the face. Other benefits are fewer headaches, eye strain and sinus issues. It reduces wrinkles, smooths the forehead and defines the jawline and much more.
Gua Sha is the perfect companion to face yoga, they work marvellously together. Gua Sha, pronounced “Gwah Sha” is a Chinese therapeutic technique that has been practised for thousands of years in China. It uses a round edge tool that strokes the skin until redness appears. Some of the benefits are: increased microcirculation by 400%; floods the skin with nutrients; removes toxins through the lymphatic system; improves muscle tone; lifts brows; plumps lips; sculpts and contours cheeks and jawline.
Acupressure is applying pressure to specific points on the face. This will stimulate and balance the flow of energy within. This will improve your skin health, and reduce for example sinus problems, headaches and eye strain and more.

Handmade Stained Glass Christmas decorations – what could be better! Have you ever wondered how glass is made and put together? Here is your chance to try a unique glass technique called ‘copper foil’, invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany, which revolutionised the way that glass was made and put together. Small scale, delicate pieces can be made using this method. You will need a steady hand and lots of patience to learn this technique, but the results will be well worth the effort! You will create a unique and beautiful copper foil glass Christmas decoration using a combination of coloured glass and glass globs if desired.
During the first part of the day, we will concentrate upon working out how to cut, foil and solder glass together. Then you will create a suitable design and colour scheme for this project so that you will understand how to design your own piece in the future.
The following will be covered during the course:
Design skills
Brief history of glass/makers
Glass cutting methods
Grinding & soldering
Copper foil technique
Health & safety
• Images for inspiration (essential); these should be drawings or photographs please (not images of glass)
• An apron, which is fabric or plastic coated
• A small wooden board
• A glass cutter if you have one
• An A4 sheet of glass (for example buy a clip frame from Wilkinson’s) – this is for easy transportation of your glass piece
Tools and equipment will be provided.
Specific glass materials are NOT included in the course fee.
There will be a fee of £20 to cover the costs of equipment and glass payable to the tutor on the day.
