Adult Education

Whether you're looking to improve your skills or knowledge or perhaps learn something completely new, why not sign up to one of the many adult education courses that take place at Forge Fach.

In partnership with Swansea Lifelong Learning, Forge Fach is the ideal venue for continuing Adult Education.

The Centre boasts an ultra modern ICT Suite, complete with the latest PC's combined with ultra fast Broadband capability. It is here that all our IT related courses are held, ranging from complete beginner to the more technically competent. Also available are Digital Photography and Photoediting.

Why not learn something new, such as Welsh or psychology?

For the more creative we can offer drawing and painting in addition to the more dextrous craft activities such as jewellery making and crochet.
