Our Learning Partners

Inspire Learning provides Community Learning Courses directly to the public and we work with other providers, our learning partners, to help us to deliver our services to you.

Our learning partners include large and small organisations from the voluntary, community and Further Education sectors.

Working with partners means we can provide more learning opportunities to more people across more locations and communities, so that everyone gets the chance to take part. Take a look at their websites to search for courses near you.
