Access: First Steps Back to Education

Community Education at An Cosán seeks to build skills and confidence to promote personal and professional development. Our courses are designed to support you at whichever stage of your learner journey you are at!

The first steps to education courses aim to provide learners with the skills and confidence in the important areas of literacy and numeracy. The courses are designed to support you and make you feel empowered to learn and to progress at your own pace. This programme is targeted at early school leavers and people new to English and Irish languages.

These courses are delivered once a week over 27 weeks.

• Adult Key skills 1 (reading, writing and numeracy)
• Adult Key skills 2 (reading, writing and numeracy)
• ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages – Beginner Level)
• Irish Classes (reading and oral – Beginner Level)

Please note that these course are funded, but we do ask for a small contribution to assist with hospitality and photocopying.

We are very grateful for the support of our Partner organisations: Dublin & Dún Laoghaire Education & Training Board, the HSE and TUSLA.
