Continuing and Further Education in the North West

There is a wide range of courses available across the region. These include degrees and A-levels, day schools and workshops, and tailor-made practical courses.

The institutions listed below provide courses, and several of them are prepared to offer more – if you say what you’re looking for. Your local society may also run a lecture programme and/or training linked to a specific project.

CBANW is eager to promote courses and training at all levels. If you or your group is looking for an experienced and qualified tutor, or would appreciate advice on organising a course or training activity, we may be able to help you. If you’d like to promote a course here, send us the details.
