I am urging people to consider new Literacy
and Numeracy courses which will commence at SERC Holywood Further Education
Campus from Tuesday 17 January 2012.
Whilst the Loughview Ward in Holywood
continues to generate many fantastic leaders such as golfing legend Rory
McIlroy I recently received statistics which detail that 64.5% of people living
in the Loughview Ward, Holywood have ‘No or low levels of qualifications'
After
becoming aware of this fact I lobbied South Eastern Regional College to expand
the range of courses available locally in order to ensure local people can
easily increase their skills if so desired. In response SERC now intend to
deliver Essential Skills courses at their Holywood Campus which is located on
the Old Holywood Road near Redburn and Loughview Estates.
Numeracy classes will commence on
Tuesday 17 January 2012 from 6.30pm to 9.30pm with Literacy classes then
commencing on Friday 20 January 2012 from 9.30am to 12.30pm. Anyone wishing to
enrol should simply turn up on the evening or morning of the class whilst more
details can be obtained from Annett Dixon Tel 028 9127 6600 or mobile
number 07920756347 or by email to adixon@serc.ac.uk Classes are free for
people who do not have a GCSE qualification in one of these areas to be
studied.
With the courses delivered locally in a friendly environment
by experienced tutors I strongly encourage anyone who wants to improve their
Literacy or Numeracy skills to sign up and grasp the opportunities now
available.
