KENT ADULT EDUCATION’S 2014/15 COURSES
KENT ADULT EDUCATION WAS FORMED IN 2002 WHEN SIX REGIONAL PROVIDERS WERE PULLED
TOGETHER. THE CREATION ALLOWED KENT ADULT EDUCATION TO DEVELOP A MORE
SUBSTANTIAL AND CONSISTENT ADULT EDUCATION PROVISION ACROSS THE COUNTY.
Kent Adult Education is offering a fantastic range
of over 3,500 courses throughout the 2014/15
academic year, all of which can be accessed
through their county-wide network of 12 centres.
The courses available fall into the following nine
categories: art, courses for business, craft, general
studies, health and fitness, languages, personal
development, photography and computing, and
GCSEs.
Better still, courses vary from single and half-day
classes, to ones that run for up to 32 weeks of
the year. Courses are also available during the
day, in the evenings and at the weekend, making
them accessible to all.
So, whether you fancy yourself as a modern-day
Picasso or simply feel 2014 is the year in which
to channel your inner artist, Kent Adult Education
has the arts world sewn up with their range of
creative courses. Here are a few of the highlights:
THE ARTS
Dance
Kent Adult Education's dance courses explore
a wide range of musical styles and cultures,
including traditional ballroom, Latin, folk, modern
street, and the more unusual belly or bhangra
dancing. Such courses can help to improve your
mobility, suppleness, stamina and coordination,
while also providing you with a lot of enjoyment
and a great means of exercise. From beginners
to expert, there is an option to suit all tastes.
Painting and Drawing
From acrylics and oils, to charcoal and pastels,
Kent Adult Education has a fantastic range of
painting and drawing courses that cater for all
levels of experience and skill. Alternatively, why
not try something different like Chinese brush
painting or abstract painting? Their in-house art
studios provide the perfect setting to find
inspiration and allow you to focus on creating
something special, while the tutors use their
experience and knowledge to provide you with
expert individual guidance.

Photography
The centres' photography courses will help you
to take good, interesting and exciting
photographs, in a variety of contexts. There will
be both individual and group tuition, in addition
to discussions, during which you are invited to
share your ideas and thoughts with others. These
courses often venture outside of the classroom,
which not only allows for more exciting and
unusual subject matters, but also allows students
to get to grips with the added challenges that
can arise from shooting outside.
CRAFT
Clothes & Dressmaking
This creative course looks at using fast,
contemporary methods for fashionable and
successful dressmaking and tailoring. You will
work on your own project, at your own pace,
while being shown the necessary processes
needed to successfully complete your work.
