Situated off Rheims Way, the Canterbury centre offers a broad range of courses and a superb environment for learning.
Based in a modern, purpose-built venue with panoramic vistas of the city, including a magnificent view of Canterbury Cathedral. The Canterbury Adult Education Centre is within walking distance of the city centre and Canterbury East/West train stations. Highlights include Life Drawing, Oil Painting, Sewing and Languages.
Canterbury Adult Education centre will re-open on 14th September. We are continuing to review which services and courses can be delivered within a Covid-19 safe environment.
Please be aware that some courses attributed to this centre are still being delivered in a real time, online environment. Please check the location in the course description before enrolling to confirm where your course will be taking place.
Several changes have been made to the Canterbury Adult Education centre to make it Covid-19 secure.
- The installation of sanitiser stations
- New instructional signage
- The use of spatial surveys to ensure that social distancing can be maintained
- The installation of screens where appropriate
- The implementation of a test and trace system
