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.

Our teachers are well‑qualified and have years of experience. Our classes will help you quickly improve your English skills.
Assessment for entry onto our courses will be by appointment only, between June and September and, as our ESOL courses are very popular, we advise you to contact us by phone or visit our reception in June to make an appointment for an assessment.
