Since 2006, Worthing Homes have been working with Futures Training to provide professional computer based training covering English, maths and information technology on Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays and Sundays.


The centre offers a friendly, informal environment supported by experienced tutors and it is this unique approach that has attracted many learners.


Our courses are open to individuals, as well as local businesses and their employees.

 

All “skills for life” courses (ie maths and English) are free to all.  IT courses are free to those on means tested benefit.  All these courses can lead to national qualifications.


Courses include:
