Community and Adult Education
Every year more and more adults are returning to education and training by joining programmes at Coleg Llysfasi. Many enrol on specially designed courses, others on regular programmes alongside school leavers. Some are at the College full time, others part time or in the evenings or follow work based courses. The opportunities available are very flexible.
Llysfasi are supporters of life long learning and education in the community. This is why the College offers a variety of courses in many outreach centres across the Vale of Clwyd, the Dee Valley and the North Wales Coast. Some courses lead to a nationally recognised certificate, others are a first step to further study.
If you would like to attend a course in your area or would like to suggest courses we could set up in your own area please ring us on 01978 790 263.
