Adult Guidance Service

Who are we?

We are an adult education guidance and information service for adults. We assist adults that are participating in or would like to participate in education. This service is available to adults of all ages, from all backgrounds and of all abilities.

What is our aim?

We support and advise people as they make their own decisions about their future in education. We realise that in making these decision adults often need to take account of other aspects of their lives.  Our service is free and confidential. We offer friendly, practical and realistic advice.
