Learning Services Worcestershire is the County Council department for post-16-year-old, community-based education in Worcestershire. 

We are directly contracted by the UK Government’s Department of Education to provide learning opportunities for residents when other options such as sixth form, college, apprenticeships, or university are not the best choice.

Those living in Worcestershire with refugee status, or as part of a resettlement programme such as the Homes for Ukraine or the Ukraine Family schemes, are entitled to join our courses - the same as all Worcestershire residents.

Our courses

Learning Services Worcestershire run several courses and programmes to assist people who have resettled in the UK and are now living in Worcestershire (including the Homes for Ukraine scheme).

We have various courses on offer that are carried out in small groups, at easily accessible locations across the county and can even be carried out as a family together. Our courses are designed to help people return to learning, to build confidence in new skills, and to take an active role within their community.

Courses on offer include: 

• Functional Skills and GCSE English and Maths
• Essential Digital Skills, Employability
• Arts and crafts
• Health and wellbeing
• Young Adult Learning (16 to 19 years)
• Family learning
• vocational programmes for Hair and Beauty
• and many others

We also have specific Homes for Ukraine courses and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses.
