A COLLEGE is promoting adult learning opportunities as part of a national initiative.

Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, in Darlington, will be running a series of activities connected to Adult Learners' Week.

On Monday, the college will have an information stand in the Cornmill Centre and staff will be on hand to offer advice about courses due to start in September.

They include AS-level Chinese, computing, beginners' archaeology, fine art and history, GCSE science, English and mathematics.

On Wednesday, the college is holding an open afternoon to promote adult learning opportunities, in particular the access course - a one-year course for university entrance - and the part-time evening programme.

It is an opportunity for prospective students to meet staff and current students and find out what it is like to return to learning.
