Online Learning for Everyday Skills in Maths and English
Can't get to College? Want to learn independently? Want to improve your reading, writing or maths skills?
South & City College Birmingham recommends a range of free Open University online courses in 'Everyday English' and 'Everyday maths'.
These FREE online courses will enable you to improve your current knowledge and gain additional skills. The topics are based upon skills you use in everyday life and you'll learn at a pace that suits you.
