Starting Your Adult Education Course

Activate Learning can help you build confidence to find that first job, advance your current career, or give you a fresh start, we have opportunities available at every level for adult learners.

Congratulations on your offer to study with Activate Learning! 

Once you’ve enrolled and your place is confirmed, make sure to check the First Day Information page and pop the dates in your diary – it has everything you need to know about when and where to go, and what to bring.

In your first two weeks, you’ll need to:

  • Show your ID and any documents if needed (like proof you can study in the UK).
  • Make any payments if you haven’t already.
  • Collect your college ID card and lanyard, which you’ll need to wear on campus at all times.

Our campuses are easy to get to, with great transport links nearby.
