Courses
Leadership and Confidence
This is a more advanced version of our confidence course. It will help women develop skills which enable them to take responsibility in professional and personal contexts, as well as becoming positive role-models in the community. Topics covered in the 6-week course are negotiation skills, conflict management, presentations skills, body language and planning. Each week we have a different specialist speaker or Corporate partner teaching a session on subjects ranging from team work, to negotiation and time-management.
Beginners ICT/ Level 1 ICT
ICT is now a basic skill needed in most work places. The learners will be taught keyboard skills, how to use computer programmes and internet know-how such as use of email and web-search emailing. These skills build confidence in both professional and personal contexts.
Employability
Our employability sessions teach learners skills needed to get them into employment; from core-employability skills to CV-workshops and job-application skills.
ESOL
New ESOL classes start regularly throughout the year. Our ESOL classes help speakers of other language improve their English. The benefits of this course are evident; in that women are able to use English in their daily lives with teachers and doctors as well as in an employment setting.

Women at the project feel more empowered if they are able to complete tasks at home for themselves. These sessions boost female confidence and competency simultaneously.

We run a Self-defence course which empowers and builds the confidence of women who attend the classes.

Literacy Lunch
Our literacy lunch drop-in sessions every Tuesday from 12-1pm are a way for women to get additional support in literacy and other areas of their training from our corporate partners.
Get Fit!
We encourage healthy living and exercise because it is an important factor to health and many women that come to our centres do not feel comfortable working out at the gym. Aerobics runs on Wednesdays in two sessions from 10-11am and 11-12pm - £1 course fee.
