400+ courses for adults and families

PART-TIME 2017–18COURSES

Redbridge Institute is a great place for adults to learn. Learning here is informal, rewarding and enjoyable. Learners value our open and welcoming atmosphere which encourages a mix of different groups of people to work together. We are proud of our local and national reputation for success.

Our learners have great opportunities to develop their confidence and their skills. They have the excellent support of our well qualified, enthusiastic and committed team of tutors and learning support assistants. Our learning advisers and subject specialist tutors will help new learners choose the right learning pathway.

Last year we worked with more than 4,000 part-time learners in different centres across Redbridge. Learners are well prepared for their next step with many progressing on to sustained further learning, qualifications and employment.

I look forward to welcoming you to the Institute.

I am grateful for the invaluable learning I got from my tutors. It was not only theoretical learning but confidence building, self‑learning and discovering my own strengths. Business administration and

Bookkeeping courses at Redbridge Institute helped me gain essential job skills and a job

in the security industry. I happily recommend Redbridge Institute to everyone as I loved every part of my education here. Thank you my tutors and all at the Institute for giving me so much.Alka ChopraBusiness administration and Bookkeeping
