Why Choose WAES
WAES is Westminster City Council’s adult education service, supporting learners from across London and beyond. People choose to learn with us for many different reasons — from developing skills for work, to returning to learning after a break, or building confidence through learning.
Our approach recognises that adult learners often balance learning with work, caring roles and other commitments, and that support and flexibility matter.
What makes WAES different
Learners choose WAES because we offer:
- Courses created specifically for adult learners
- Teaching delivered by experienced and supportive tutors
- A strong focus on inclusion, wellbeing and learner voice
- Clear pathways into further learning, training and employment
- Centrally located learning centres with modern facilities
- Close links with employers, universities and community partners
Learning that fits real lives
Many WAES learners have responsibilities beyond the classroom. Our aim is to make learning accessible, supportive and relevant, while recognising the experience and independence adult learners bring with them.
If you’ve already enrolled on a course, you may also want to read Getting Ready for your Course, which explains what to expect before your learning begins.
