Communication is essential to everyday life. It helps learners build relationships and understand the world we live in. Improving your communication skills allows learners to connect with other people, access learning pathways, and to progress in their workplace. Learning with the WEA is not like school. It’s learning made for adults, and you’ll be taught by supportive tutors.
English
Learners can boost their English skills and get a better understanding of grammar. Improve their spelling and gain confidence in reading. We also provide the opportunity to learn the basics and build the skills to gain an SQA Core Skills Award in Communications at SCQF Level 2 - 4. Improving your reading and writing as an adult is not as hard as you might think.
