Supporting Thurrock’s residents to develop new skills and fulfil their potential

We are passionate about supporting Thurrock’s residents to develop new skills that will help them fulfil their potential and achieve their ambitions whether they be career-related or personal.

If you’ve not studied with us before, don’t be nervous – our class sizes are small at around 12-14 people. You will be in a class with other adults with similar skill levels to yourself and our friendly, experienced tutors will ensure you receive all the support you need.

We want as many local people as possible to take advantage of the many job opportunities coming to Thurrock now and over the coming years.
