A new you for ‘22
The Learning and Enterprise College Bexley (LECB) is holding a special Enrolment Day on Saturday 19 March from 10am to 3pm. The day is a chance for anyone interested in gaining a qualification or workplace skill to come along and sign up for a new course. The LECB runs a range of nationally accredited courses that could help you gain employment, learn new skills and improve your CV. Accredited courses at the LECB include English, Maths and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). There will also be a chance for families to find out more about
the many Supported Learning courses that the College offers for students with special education needs. Many of the accredited courses that run from Brampton Road or online are often free or subsidised, depending on individual circumstances. Adults who do not have a GCSE grade 4/C in English or maths are entitled to study
either of these at the College free of charge! Before you can book onto an accredited course, you need to complete a free Initial Assessment (IA). This will help you pick the right course for your skill level. There will be a chance to take your IA at the Enrolment Day on 19 March so that you sign up immediately to the course that suits you.
