About us
Community Learning MK is a unique new venture that draws together Milton Keynes Council’s well respected, high
quality Adult Continuing Education (ACE) and Music Services into one organisation that enables children, young
people and adults of all ages to realise their ambitions and reach their full potential.
Whether you want to get creative and learn a new skill, gain qualifications for employment, or improve your skills to
meet demands in work, Community Learning MK can help you.
A great range of courses and learning opportunities
•
A structured curriculum encouraging progression from beginners to advanced level
•
Highly qualified course leaders and trainers

Recognised qualifications such as GCSEs, diplomas, music instrumental grades and apprenticeships

Welcome to the new
Adult Learning and Music programme
Every year over 5000 adults and 7,000 children study with us. Whether you enrol on a year long course which will lead you to
a qualification or join a one-day workshop which will introduce you to an exciting new skill, you are important to us. We aim
to provide an excellent learning environment where we can support you to succeed and progress.

Learner successes
Exhibitions
Congratulations to this year’s
Adult Learner Award winners!
We will be celebrating their
achievements at a fun family
event on July 18 at the Rivers
Centre. Tutors and staff look
forward to sharing stories like
Fozia’s, a mother of four
including triplets.
Are you signing up for a creative course? Would you like
to display your work?
In addition to our annual July exhibition, we are
planning further opportunities for learners to show
their work at Rivers and other venues.
For details of all exhibition opportunities and
accompanying demonstrations and mini-workshops,
please contact [email protected]
Fozia Abid has been offered a place at Northampton
University to train as a Primary teacher. She says: “My
learning experience with Adult Learning has been
amazing. My jouney began with basic maths, science
and English up to GCSE level. The support I received
from the tutors and staff was excellent. I am very
thankful to the tutors and support staff for making my
dream come true. ”
Geometrics MK
Visit the Project Space at MK Gallery during the month
of October to see work created by ACE learners, tutors
and friends. Work on display is inspired by the
landscape and cartography of Milton Keynes.

Make Do and Mend Weekend
Neighbourhood Employment Programme
Milton Keynes Council and Milton Keynes College are
working together with Job Centre Plus and a range of
voluntary and community organisations to provide
locally based job clubs to help unemployed young
people and adults into work.
The job clubs are based at the Rivers Centre, in
community centres, libraries and Parish offices in the
heart of priority estates so that as many people as
possible can get help.
We have an exciting choice of workshops planned for
22 and 23 November and a Vintage/Craft Fair 11am –
3pm on Sunday 23 November at the Rivers Centre. If
you are a collector or a maker and would like to book a
stall, please email [email protected].
It’s a great opportunity to test the market without too
much upfront investment.
Job clubs offer help with careers advice, job search, CV
writing, completing applications and basic computer
training. Advisors can help you find other training as
well, whether you are actively seeking work or
considering your options for the future.
An up-to-date list of job clubs, opening times and
contact details is on the Council website at:
See page 34.
Get involved
Filling in feedback forms is not the only way to help us improve. We really value opportunities to talk directly to you about
your experiences and views so we visit as many classes as possible over the year and also host regular meetings and focus
groups.
Would you like to take part in one of these or represent learners at Milton Keynes Adult Learning Forum meetings?
Please tell your tutor, email us at [email protected] or phone Ritu on 01908 556751
Interviews and
skills checks
We want all learners to get the best from their course and
if you are applying for a qualification course we will
arrange a telephone or face-to-face interview to make
sure you understand what previous experience and
commitment the course requires.
English, ESOL and Maths learners will also have a
skills check to make sure that you start your course at
the right level.
Interviews and skills checks will take place at the Rivers
Centre and the Flexible Learning Centre - CMK Library
during August and the first week of September.
To book an English, ESOL or Maths Skills Check, call
01908 556703.

• www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/clmk
• phone us on 01908 556760

Cancellation and Refund Policy
We may, regretfully, have to cancel courses if we do not receive enough
enrolments, or close them if there is a high level of non-attendance or
withdrawal. In these circumstances you will be informed as soon as
possible by text where possible through PageOne and a refund will be
made by crediting your credit/debit card or by cheques. It is not possible
for us to make refunds in cash.
However, to avoid disappointing learners who enrol on courses which do
not attract quite enough learners to be fully viable, ACE reserves the right
to adjust the course length. For example a course may be delivered more
intensively and end a week early. Under these circumstances no refunds
or partial refunds will be possible.
Session cancellation due to extreme weather
Wherever possible we will offer replacement or extended sessions to
make up for sessions cancelled due to extreme weather, tutor illness or
other unforeseen reason. In the unusual event that this is not possible, we
will recompense learners by issuing a pro-rata credit or learning voucher
against a future course.
Cancellation or transfer by the learner
If you need to withdraw from a course and inform us in writing at least 10
working days before the course is due to start, you will be eligible for a
refund of all fees minus a £30 administration charge. If you withdraw from
a course at any other time, you will not be eligible for a refund. However,
in exceptional circumstances and at our discretion, we may be able to
offer some credit against a future course.
Requests to transfer courses may also incur a £30 administration charge
unless recommended by your tutor or a member of ACE staff because a
course at a different level will better meet your learning needs.
Withdrawal from 24+ Advanced Learning Loan courses
We will retain your deposit of £100 if you do not take up a place offered
on a course eligible for a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan, unless your loan
application has not been successful. We will also retain your deposit if you
withdraw early from such a course, regardless of the circumstances of
your withdrawal.

English, Maths and Science
Adult Learning offers Functional Skills and GCSE qualifications in English and Maths
Some adults leave school without English and Maths qualifications. Later, they find they need these core skills to
succeed at work, in their communities and as parents. Functional Skills are essential for getting the most from
education, training and employment as they offer problem solving skills alongside subject knowledge.
Why should I enrol on a Functional Skills course?
• Success at work – employers recognise their value
• Opportunity in education – a functional skills qualification will open doors to further and higher education
• Fulfilment in life – these practical skills equip learners to deal with everyday tasks
GCSE or Functional Skills?
We will be happy to provide you with advice and guidance on the best course for you.
Before joining a course, you will be asked to attend a Skills Check session. Call MK 556703 to make an appointment.

Join the adventurous people who are changing their lives by learning to speak a new language. Enjoy a new cultural
experience or improve your job prospects by signing up to the language and level that suit you.
Coming back to language learning after a break and not sure of your level?
We recommend you:
• Read the language level guide below
• Visit www.linguanet-worldwide.org – a multi-lingual online resource which will help you check your level
• Talk to our languages advisor on 01908 556705
Continuing your language learning?
Do you know your place on the Languages Ladder?
If you already hold any Languages Ladder certificates, make sure your new tutor knows which skills you have passed
at which levels. See www.assetlanguages.org.uk
Which level is best for me?
First Steps/Absolute Beginners/All Day:
For learners who have not learned any of the language before
Next Steps
For learners who have completed a First Steps/one day Absolute Beginners course or equivalent in the recent past
Improvers
For learners who have completed 40-60 hours in the recent past
Intermediate
For learners who have completed 120 hours in the recent past
Moving on to Advanced
For learners who have completed an Intermediate or Rusty GCSE/O Level course in the recent past
Advanced
For learners who have reached A Level standard and want to improve their listening and speaking skills
GCSE
For learners who have completed 120 hours in the recent past and want an externally assessed qualification
Measure your progress on the Languages Ladder
How do you climb the Languages Ladder?
1 What is the Languages Ladder?
The Languages Ladder (Asset Languages) is a scheme which rewards your language learning achievements and
helps you chart your progress.
2 How does it work?
The Languages Ladder (Asset Languages) gives you the opportunity to focus on the language skills you need - listening, speaking, reading and writing – and helps you to identify more easily which class you should join. You
can start at Grade 1 in any skill and work your way up!
3 Do I have to do the assessment?
No, it is entirely optional, although most learners decide they would like to have their progress recognised.
Feedback from learners indicates that the step-by-step approach helps them build confidence and makes learning
easier.
4 When and where do these assessments take place?
Most assessments take place in the classroom and are very informal. This kind of assessment is part of the course
and it is unlikely that you will notice it happening! You might, for example, be asked to do an exercise as a group or
with a partner and the teacher will take the opportunity to listen in to what is going on.
5 How do I find out more about the Languages Ladder?
Your tutor should be able to give you more information, you can talk to our languages advisor on 01908 556705

made by crediting your credit/debit card or by
cheques. It is not possible for us to make refunds in

Music Faculty
Music education helps everyone to develop skills in a number
of areas; flexibility, the ability to solve problems, the confidence
to learn new skills, to be creative and innovative, and to strive
for excellence. It can help provide a strong sense of
determination, improved communication skills and have a
positive impact on intellectual development.
The Music Faculty (previously known at the Music Service)
delivers the ‘Totally Music’ programme in schools all over
Milton Keynes where nearly 6,000 children experience the
pleasure of learning a musical instrument. The programme
supports schools in delivering their Music Strategy, provides
whole class instrumental tuition and curriculum projects as
well as large group instrumental tuition. It encourages children
O
Tel: 01908 556700
to develop a love of music and ensures that they have the
opportunity to sing and learn a musical instrument as well as to
perform as part of an ensemble or choir.
At the Music Centres based at Shenley Brook End school and
Simpson on Saturday mornings almost 1,000 young people
join in various ensembles and orchestras. The Music Centre
aims to give children an enjoyment of music while striving for
the very highest standards for those students who wish to
pursue music more seriously.
If you would like to find out more about the Music Faculty
please call MK 0845 200 0096 or visit www.miltonkeynes.gov.uk/musicmk
