Our learners tell us that studying English and maths as an adult is a life-changing experience. As well as nationally recognised adult qualifications, you will gain confidence, talk about local places and issues, make new contacts and, if needed, access careers advice. Some people even say they now love maths!

York Learning run weekly daytime and evening sessions online and, when restrictions allow, face to face classes at various venues across the city. The courses we offer range from basic literacy, though Functional Skills at all levels, right up to GCSE. Following a one to one assessment to discuss your current level and needs, you’ll be linked up with a specialist tutor who will work with you to achieve your goal.
