Welcome to the brand new edition of Melton City Council’s Learning Directory.
As always, the Learning Directory is chock-full of fun and challenging learning opportunities offered within the City of Melton.
Are you keen to learn a new language? Would you like to start sewing? What about improving your international cooking skills? Whatever piques your interest, you can be sure that you’ll find something to suit… so dive on in and start exploring.
Signing up for a course or workshop will help you gain new skills, and give you the opportunity to meet new people, discover new places and make new friends.
There’s something in this directory for people of all ages and all skill levels, but remember they’re very popular, so be sure to register early.
