There are some other bits we need to tell you as we get funding from the Government to provide courses for Derbyshire residents.  This often helps to keep costs very reasonable.  In return we follow Government guidance:

  • By enrolling you are agreeing to our Terms and Conditions and we may share your details with other education providers. This is likely to depend on the type of course chosen.
  • Each year we'll check your proof of residency in Derbyshire and entitlement to possible funding
  • Adult learners aged over 19 years will generally pay full cost fees unless booking onto a free course.  There may be other costs for materials etc. 
  • Learners under 19, or up to 24 with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) should chat to us or take a look here to check elibility for funding.

If you have any problems registering or enrolling online please email adult.education@derbyshire.gov.uk or call us on 01629 531241

Description

All of our new Tailored Learning courses are matched to one of seven ‘purposes' which have been designed by the Department for Education to recognise the wider benefits of learning.

This course will help build parenting skills and give you the confidence to support your children's learning.

This short course is for parents/carers of neurodiverse children and will cover ways to get support for your child. You will learn about your rights and entitlements, where to go and who to approach for support and how to best communicate the needs of you and your child.
This course is for you if you are a parent or carer of a neurodiverse child or you suspect your child may be neurodiverse. Our courses are for people who live in Derbyshire aged 19 and over.
This is an online course. There will be practical activities with guidance from your tutor. The course will be a mix of tutor-led activities, individual work and group work. Your tutor will give you support and feedback so you know what to do to improve.
You will need a device to access Microsoft Teams. You may want to bring something to make notes.
This course is free and there are no other costs.
You will access this course through Microsoft Teams. You will be part of a live class, with a tutor, but with everyone doing the lessons from their own home.
