English and Maths
Our English and Maths classes take place at Idea Stores across the borough in Tower Hamlets from Entry level 3 to Level 2. All our courses are part-time with the majority of classes running within school hours (9-3).
Do you need a functional skills qualification for further studies or a better job? Do you want to become a more confident communicator? Do you need to work on your maths and numeracy to improve your finances, your DIY, your problemsolving, your cooking or your data analysis skills? Come to our courses at the Idea Store or other venues in Tower Hamlets and become more confident with words and numbers.
You do not need to live in the borough and most of our courses are free.
