The Hounslow Enterprise Club has helped me so much, they are

great people and I have made friends. My business before going

to the group was not so good and I had no idea what to do.

Now I am up and running and it’s all going well and I am getting

noticed for my work. Thank you.

Skills training for employment

Hounslow Adult and Community Education works…

We run a large number of courses in different occupational areas to help you get the skills and qualifications you need to get a job, or to move ahead in your career. All our skills training courses lead to a nationally approved qualification, and are free if you are unemployed and in receipt of a means tested benefit.* We have courses in Business and ICT, Hair and Beauty, Health and Social Care, Childcare and Early Years, as well as excellent courses in those essential skills for the workplace – English (including ESOL), Maths and Employability.

This is what we can offer to help you get back to work or to improve your career prospects:

Business and ICT

The world of business and information and communications technology is ever changing with constant demand for competent and qualified individuals. If you are interested in working or developing your skills within the fields of business administration, business finance, or in developing IT skills that will open opportunities for using technology in the world of work, then one of our courses will prove invaluable.

Children’s Care, Early Years and Teaching Assistants

Working with children or young people is a profession for people who want to make a real difference. If you feel you have commitment, enthusiasm and lots of energy to develop new and existing skills working in these sectors, then this could be the career for you. There are opportunities for you to progress in your chosen field no matter what your starting point is; we offer progression routes from Entry Level to Level 2 and we are now offering the new Intro to Early Years Education and Care at Level 2. This new qualification is the benchmark for early years professionals.

English and Maths

English - whatever sort of job you want to do you will need a good level of English. You may have English as a second language and want to improve speaking, listening, reading and writing, or you may have English as your first language but need to improve your reading and writing (literacy) skills. Whatever your need we offer a range of courses in English from pre-entry to Level 2 and GCSE. Don’t worry about what level you are now, when you come to see us we will assess your current level of English and be able to advise you on what is the best course for you.

Maths - maths and numeracy skills are essential both in the workplace and at home. Employers are looking for people who are able to work confidently with numbers and place a high value on this skill. We offer a number of maths courses to help you improve your numeracy skills from entry level to Level 2 and GCSE.

(9)

Health and Social Care

Working with vulnerable adults and the elderly in the care sector is a very rewarding and fulfilling career. There are lots of opportunities for employment and you will have the satisfaction of helping some of those in most need of care and support in our society. As with most of our vocational training there are progression routes from Entry Level to Level 2. We are now offering Advanced Health and Social Care Apprenticeships at Level 3.

Hairdressing and Beauty

The hair and beauty industries are rapidly growing and trained therapists and hairdressers have never been more in demand. If you are interested in helping people to improve their self-esteem and well-being, then becoming a therapist or hairdresser may be the career for you. There are many career opportunities in high street salons, department stores, hospitals, health spas, hotels, television, cruise ships and working abroad. There are opportunities for you to progress in your chosen field no matter what your starting point; you will get the chance to learn from tutors who have extensive experience in the industry and train in a realistic working environment with lots of opportunities to practise on colleagues and members of the general public.

Health and Social Care

The assessment takes approximately two and a half hours. Further information supplied on application. See below for details.

The Health and Social Care Level 3 course was such a fascinating

subject. The tutor was very supportive and it was her enthusiasm

that made the course both interesting and fascinating for us, which

in turn enthused us to continue and achieve. It really made me look

at my practice and makes you question how and why your practice

meets the needs of the service user.

020 8583 6000.

Enrol on a course

You can enrol on a course using the following methods:

By phone: call 020 8583 6000 and pay the full fee with your debit or credit card. You will be asked to sign a Learning Agreement at your first lesson.

By post: complete an application form and send it to one of our main centres, enclosing a cheque made payable to London Borough of Hounslow.

All courses are subsidised through government funding for EU learners only. International learners will be classified as an overseas/international student if you have not been resident in the UK or European Union for three years preceding the start of your course or if you have any restrictions on your stay. A visa does not constitute ordinary residence. International students pay a higher fee because government funding does not cover the cost of your learning. If you are unsure of your status and for details of course fees, please check with our enrolment staff.

Qualification course fees:

Qualification course fees include examination and assessment fees where applicable.

Unemployed adults in receipt of means tested benefit

If you unemployed, looking for work, and are in receipt of a means tested benefit all the

qualification courses in this Prospectus are free. You will need to sign a self-declaration form stating that you are looking for a job and provide supporting evidence to qualify for a government fully funded course.

(28)

Taster sessions

If you wish to try out a class before enrolling, you can attend a class for one session for only £10. This amount will be deducted from the course fee if you then enrol on the course. Tasters are subject to availability and do not guarantee you a place on the course after the taster session.

Refunds

Refunds of course fees are only given if:

• The class is closed by the Service and there is no suitable alternative.

• The learner is unable to attend for medical reasons and has an appropriate medical certificate Resource, examination and assessment fees are not refundable. In exceptional circumstances, Credit Vouchers can be issued for future courses and are valid for 6 months from the date of issue.

020 8583 6033.

Attendance – Attend to achieve

You will gain most from your course if you attend regularly; also for many qualification courses there is a minimum attendance requirement in order to achieve. Course Information Sheets set out what you can expect to achieve on your course – this assumes that you are present throughout the course. However, we do appreciate that sometimes absence is unavoidable. If you cannot attend a class, please let us know by phoning Meadowbank 020 8583 6050 or email learnerviews@ hounslow.gov.uk so that we can inform your coursed tutor. If you do not attend your class for three consecutive sessions and we are not notified, you may be automatically withdrawn from the course, so please stay in touch!

(29)

Can you help if I cannot afford the fees?

If you are experiencing financial hardship and are unable to meet all the costs of your course, please ask the staff at the main centre and they will be able to advise you about our Discretionary Learner Support Funding, which is available for certain qualification courses.

Can I pay by instalments?
