A truth to bare…
2022-23 was a very successful year for Adult Learn and Train with over 2000 bookings but shockingly one area that saw a record low enrolments in 2022-23 was Maths and English. There were just 34 learners in our maths courses.
Which half are you?
Did you know according to a report by Kings College London more than half the working age population has the numeracy level expected of a Primary School child. And a massive one third of people believed that most people don’t need to use numbers as part of their day job.
The next time you’re in a group of adults, just think of the probability that half of you struggle with maths problems.
Another shocking statistic from Kings College: one in four people are put off applying for a job if it lists using numbers and data as a requirement.
It’s FREE, so why wouldn’t you?
With so many providers offering FREE Maths course opportunities, it’s a wonder why people aren’t jumping on the band wagon…

There are many reasons out there including;
