Barnsley Adult Skills and Community Learning
Disruption to our courses due to COVID-19 (coronavirus)
We've been deciding how to continue doing what we do in the best way possible.
The health and wellbeing of our learners, our staff and our partners is always our top priority. We're closely monitoring the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation and are continuing to adapt following the guidance issued by the government and health authorities to help keep everyone as safe as possible.
We stopped all of our classroom delivery sessions in all our venues from Monday 23 March 2020. Wellington House and all of our learning centres are currently closed.
Our tutors are contacting learners directly to support their continuation of learning wherever possible. If you have any questions and need to get in touch with us, please fill in our online contact form; we'll contact you as soon as we can.
If you need support to help you secure employment during this period of closure, or if you need help to update your online Universal Credit journal, our ESF Pathways team are still available to help you. Please fill in our online contact form and we'll get back in touch with you as soon as we can.
