Westminster Adult Education Service, is one of the largest providers of adult education in the UK where you can learn for work, personal growth or just for fun!

We think you'll be surprised at just how much WAES has to offer. If you want to gain a qualification, go on to higher education, improve your skills for work, find the right training or simply learn more about a new area of interest, we have something for you. Our courses range from Creative Arts to Zumba!

• We offer an ideal way to come back to learning and to build up your confidence if you were unable to complete your education, for whatever reason, even if it is many years since you last studied.

• We are Westminster’s only specialist adult education provider, so you can expect to study with like minded people, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

• We take education out to the community, with courses in over 80 venues across Westminster. WAES has many centres supporting first steps into education and training, reaching out to all members of the community.

• Our tutors are dedicated professionals with many years’ experience in industry and adult education.

• We make sure that you get all the support you need to help fulfil your ambitions, and our teaching and learning methods are specifically designed for adult learners.

• Value for money. Many of our courses are free but, even if you do have to pay fees, you will probably find that you pay less than at neighbouring providers.

• We are flexible and respond to what people want and need, providing purpose-designed courses in the community.

We also offer courses for adults with learning difficulties and disabilities. Students’ needs are fully assessed at enrolment and tailor-made support is offered either in class or through a series of specially designed workshops. Students who find they need extra help once they have joined their classes can request it at any time. Specialist equipment can be provided if necessary.

All courses are competitively priced.
