WEA Adult Learning

Found the course the team at the front reception and teacher to be very professional, engaging, friendly and very approachable. Most helpful and attentive to my questions.

I recently did sandal making and cheeses making courses.
Both instructors were fantastic. So helpful and knowledgeable.
Would recommend to anyone who's been thinking of doing either of them.

It's a shame that WEA management advertise for trainers/educators, but lack the basic human or professional courtesy to respond to an application. I spent weeks putting together and submitting my application way back in October of 2022. I had to call them to follow up in December and was told by their admin man someone would get back to me, but that was 8 weeks' ago and no one has been in touch. It's very discourteous and disrespectful to mislead an applicant this way. I am a good educator and like to help my community, but I don't think I would be able to adapt to WEA's low standard of workplace values or dysfunctional processes

I went here as Maker Space is setting up in the basement. I'm quite excited to see the new facilities up and running.

The course was great. Tutor was very helpful.
Will do further courses as they become available.

I recently started undertaking WEA courses and have found them a good mix of practical fun and educational theory. Not knowing the classroom till on the day can make it difficult if the information screen is a distance from the classroom.

The tutor's are friendly and professional. It would be nice to see some possible bundle/group discounts.

Have done several courses at WEA and by far the best. Great staff who know their skills especially languages and computing. Got to it!

Great place for the young at heart to learn new things. How they teach, yet to be experienced fully. But price wise, very reasonable and great timings. Good facilities too. Fingers crossed.

I completed the Developing and Launching a new business course, run by Kelly Hody was fantastic. Full of practical information and resources, great advice, sharing and encouragement, and I could ask lots of questions. Highly recommend!

The WEA is a great place to learn those simple yet fulfilling things you've had on your list for ages.good tutors good vibe.just do it

I love the WEA. So many courses, covering a wide range of activities. Parking is a little annoying around it - 3 hours and many courses go for longer. There's a snack bar across the road which has good variety but the blonde haired woman isn't particularly friendly.

Parking is a bit of a pain, but generally I've been able to get a decent spot for evening classes.

I did a sewing class in Cottage A and it was lovely. Nice break room and facilities in the main building.

I did a 15 hour water colour course (over 5 weeks). I was quite disappointed as we covered about 15 different techniques but not in any detail. For a short course like this I would have expected to cover one or two techniques in more detail and then produce something nice at the end of it. However, the teacher was lovely.
