Learning Together, Building Connections

Our 2025 programme has now closed. A sample of previous courses is below. New dates will be advertised here, on Facebook, Eventbrite or email us if you would like to join our training mailing list.

Ideas for future community training topics are much appreciated. Contact us with your suggestions.

Can’t wait, Community Learning West also offers free training in Knowle West.

Knowle West Alliance free annual programme for our community.

  • Open to all local residents, workers and volunteers. Different locations across Knowle West, fully funded and facilitated by professional trainers. 
  • As well as an opportunity to learn new skills, it’s also a great way to connect with people from across Knowle West. All sessions include networking time at the beginning and end.
  • We can provide certificates of attendance.
  • A wide variety of topics are covered.
  • Booking on Eventbrite is essential and, as places are limited, we ask that you cancel your booking if you can’t come so that someone else could benefit from that training session. If you cannot access Eventbrite, contact us: info@kwalliance.co.uk.
